Memphis Theological Seminary’s mission is to educate and sustain men and women for ordained and lay Christian ministry in the church and the world through shaping and inspiring lives devoted to scholarship, piety, and justice.

While we educate our students by equipping them with such skills as preaching, pastoral care, biblical exegesis, and Christ-centered leadership qualities, we also sustain our students financially by keeping our tuition rates as low as possible.

The average full time student pays about $10,000 in annual tuition. However, the total cost of their education is about $20,000 per year.

Thanks to the support of generous donors like you, we are able to charge students only half the cost of their education, and keep a seminary education within reach for more people of faith striving to live into their call.
