16th Annual STS Golf Tournament

STS-Golf-Tournament-Now-Registering-Webslider

The 16th annual STS Golf Tournament will be held on May 22 at the Riverwood Golf Club in Clayton, NC. Shepherds Theological Seminary is grateful for those who have been faithful over the years to participate in this event by helping to bridge the gap, as every dollar invested in this annual golf tournament is a dollar that a seminary student will not have to pay in tuition.

Our desire is to keep tuition at a minimal cost for our students, so when they graduate, they are not burdened with educational debt and are therefore able to move directly into vocational ministry. Registration is now open, and we hope you will join our faculty and students in a spirited round of golf to help us train the next generation of servant leaders!
