“The opportunities are both challenging and unlimited. Yet we remain committed to train and encourage students as followers of Christ to grow together so that we can fulfill our Lord’s command to take the Gospel to the entire world.” — R. Philip Roberts, President

Strengthening the Endowment will add $2 million in funds to generate income used for academic chairs, missions and campus maintenance.

A new 1,000-seat Chapel at a cost of $5 million will provide a place for corporate worship and allow Midwestern to host events, have graduation on campus, and provide Christian ministry opportunities for students and the community.

Library Expansion and Renovation is essential to meet the needs of the growing student body and expanding academic offerings, including the Ph.D. program. Estimated costs for construction and renovations is $1.5 million. Display areas will feature the Morton-Seats Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Personal Library of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and the Lavell Seats Mission Artifact Collection.

The first two phases of campus improvements, classroom renovations and apartment construction are already underway. Funding of phase three and four will help us complete our goal to provide:

  • Outstanding academic programs
  • An unparalleled student experience
  • Distinguished faculty
  • Undisputed leadership in innovative theological education
  • State-of-the-art facilities
  • Support for cutting-edge mission endeavors
  • The ability to equip leaders for the future, and
  • A strong, well-managed endowment
