Working Together

Opportunity

At a time when seminaries are shrinking and churches are losing followers at a rapid pace, our work is more relevant than ever. MTS is poised to expand its capacity to invest in a new generation of faith leaders, and we’re excited to offer you the opportunity to partner with us by joining the 1852 Society.

A Chance to Celebrate

Each February, Memphis Theological Seminary (MTS) hosts the Henry Logan Starks Scholarship Dinner, a community event celebrating the life and witness of the late Dr. Henry Logan Starks, the first African-American professor at MTS. The event pays homage to Dr. Starks’ legacy as a theologian, community leader and activist, and benefits the scholarship endowment in his name.
