However, due to hard economic times, Sioux Falls Seminary saw a dramatic slow down of new pledges and campaign giving. This set of circumstances resulted in almost $7 million of debt on the new building, compared to an expected $2-3 million when the project began. As a result, SFS has nearly $380,000 in annual interest costs which causes an overall projected operating deficit of $103,000. Without interest costs, projected operations would show a surplus of $277,000. With operational costs under control, Sioux Falls Seminary is making it a priority to substantially reduce debt and decrease interest costs. Existence of the debt is the only major impediment to financial health in the seminary’s future.

During the 2009-2010 fiscal year, Sioux Falls Seminary experienced hardships due to the recession but worked hard to balance day-today operations. The move to the new facility has helped SFS serve students and churches better. With the new location comes lower operational costs—an area of great need due to large operating deficits incurred in the previous facilities, which were larger and required an increasing amount of maintenance.
