The ATC Campaign seeks to raise $3 million through gifts from individuals, congregations and corporations.

These funds will be used to help to find future pastors and other church leaders for South Dakota congregations. The need is great, and growing. Support from the ATC Campaign will help identify potential South Dakota candidates for the ministry and church leadership, send students to the seminary, help reduce seminary debt for South Dakota pastors and also help retired pastors with special needs.

“I welcome and encourage you to join me and many others across the Synod and actively support the Answer The Call Campaign through your gifts, enthusiasm and prayer. It is truly the best way to ensure Faith In Our Future.”

Bishop Andrea DeGroot-Nesdahl

We want to share a video about the Answer The Call Campaign with you that will tell the story of the need within our synod, profile congregations, students and seminarians, and help you understand how the money raised from this campaign will be spent.
