Ways to impact

Giving with the Mission in Focus

In fulfilling its mission to thoroughly prepare followers of Jesus Christ to serve as pastors, missionaries, educators, and lay-leaders, we recognize that the rewards for such service are eternal, not financial. Therefore, we seek to minimize the cost to students, keeping tuition rates between 25% to 30% of the true cost of their education. The remainder is made up via the support of God’s people, from one-time, regular to lasting gifts. There are a variety of ways that you can support this ministry.

Gifts to VBTS also qualify for age 72+ Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), which could mitigate the increased taxes often associated with RMDs. Limitations may apply, so consult your tax advisor.
