Here are some of the wonderful developments at Holy Trinity Seminary of late, as well as the challenges that lie before us.

Recent Highlights:

  • Approval of our new Master of Divinity degree by the NY Board of Regents in April 2018.
  • Surpassing our goal to raise $50,000, fully matched by a generous donor in September, to offer full tuition scholarships to every new MDiv student for the 2018-19 academic year. 
  • Hiring of 2 new full-time professors for Fall 2018.
  • Growth of on-campus enrollment by 20% over the past year.

Present Challenges:

  • Meeting our present expenses without accepting any government funding or government student loans or incurring debt.
  • Funding of the newly-hired, full-time, graduate-level Assistant Professor of Church History for 2019-20.

Holy Trinity Seminary is now at a crucial turning point in our history, with significant positive momentum and a need for our growth to continue.

Thank you in advance for your generous, continuing support. May you be blessed abundantly for your part in helping us close out 2018 by meeting our $150,000 goal, and promoting Traditional Orthodoxy for the 21stCentury!

With love in Christ,
