Need for Giving Continues

As We Celebrate Major Gifts

ACADIA DIVINITY COLLEGE is grateful for our friends and alumni who have provided ongoing support throughout the years that ensure we continue to fulfil our mission to equip Christians to serve the mission of God in church and world with transformative impact. Through foundations, we have also been the recipient of grants designated for specific projects and uses. These gifts help us maximize opportunities for the creative development of theological education that equips able leaders for ministry service. There is a lot to celebrate!

As many of our faithful donors rejoiced at these good news stories, a few also asked whether the College continues to need their ongoing financial support. The answer is yes! We need your support more than ever to keep the day-to-day operational work of the College running effectively for our students and wider college community. Your consistently generous giving provides the foundation that ensures the strength of our ministry.

We invite you to join us in celebrating all the Lord continues to do, and to also support the mission of Acadia Divinity College to equip students with the best possible theological education and ministry skills for serving today’s church and world.

FUNDING SOURCES (as of March 31, 20221)

“I am so grateful for the many donors who make studying at ADC possible! Without donations to subsidize tuition, provide entry scholarships, and fund bursaries, I and many other students would not be able to pursue higher theological education. It is an amazing gift to be supported to grow in faith and skill without bearing the full financial burden required to make such a quality education possible. Thank you!”

~ Luke Steeves, Master of Divinity student

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, as indeed you are doing.”

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:11

The Reverend Dr. William and Dr. Pearleen Oliver Chair of Community Leadership and Social Justice

“William and Pearleen understood that their faith called them to care for those who were disenfranchised, needy, weak, or needed help. Their ministry flowed from the pulpit to the streets. They made the Bible sing with their ministry that brought hope, joy, peace and new harmony to people who had never seen it before.”

By supporting the Chair of Community Leadership and Social Justice, you will join William and Pearleen's pursuit towards the Biblical call for justice and equality of all persons.
