Local and nationwide supporters of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis have a special opportunity to help further the Seminary’s vital mission during the 2026 Give STL Day campaign set for May 7 and with early giving opening April 22.

The Seminary’s goal for this special campaign is to raise $50,000 in support of its mission to prepare the church’s future pastors, deaconesses, missionaries and other church leaders, who will go out from St. Louis across the world to shine the light of the Gospel. A special matching gift opportunity will double all gifts given, up to the first $25,000 raised, dollar for dollar.

“Our Give STL Day campaign comes around once a year, and it is a special time for friends to join in the Seminary’s mission of preparing the church’s future leaders,” said Vicki Biggs, senior vice president, Seminary Advancement, and chief communications officer. “This campaign also is extra-special because of the match opportunity that will enable gifts to go twice as far! How wonderful to be able to double your impact so easily as you help to prepare our church’s next generations of leaders. We invite you to join in this special campaign, and we thank God for each and every donor!”

This online day of giving is powered by the St. Louis Community Foundation. Give STL Day aims to celebrate and support the nonprofits that make St. Louis a wonderful place to call home. Early giving begins April 22, 2026, at givestlday.org/concordiasem or by calling 800-822-5287
