One Day to Shine – Support Trinity Lutheran Seminary

Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University forms faithful leaders for Christ’s Church at work in the world. As a community, we are called to let the light of Christ shine in and through us in all we do.

Today, we have One Day to Shine—24 hours to come together in support of Trinity’s mission. Gifts from alumni, friends, family, faculty, staff, and church members sustain the Trinity Fund, which serves as the foundation for our daily work—both inside and outside the classroom. It provides for essential operations, infrastructure, and the resources that allow our students to grow in faith and service.

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we are able to offer full-tuition scholarships to nearly all our students. Your gift today continues this tradition, ensuring that current and future students are equipped for ministry and service.

Will you "Share Your Light" and make a gift that will have an immediate impact on the Trinity community?

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your God in heaven." – Matthew 5:16
