2026 September — The Work Begins: Building a New Home for the Co-op

A Tradition of Generosity

Dear Partner in the Gospel,

The 181st academic year is underway, and exciting things are happening on the campus of CTSFW. This year we have our largest incoming residential formation class since 2009; praise God for providing men to prepare to labor for His harvest! These future pastors and deaconesses have already seen the love and support the Church has provided through the full tuition guarantee, and soon they’ll find out how the Church supports them right here on campus through our Food & Clothing Co-op.

Through generous donations and God’s provision, the Food & Clothing Co-op provides students and their families with “daily bread”—food, drink, clothing, shoes, and more—as they prepare to serve God’s church, all at no cost to them.

The Co-op has faithfully performed this service for decades, making do in spaces that were not specifically designed for this purpose. It’s time to build a better home for the Co-op—an accessible, safe, and welcoming space that will benefit students, Co-op staff, and donors alike. The new Co-op will be a visible reminder of the steadfast love and support of God’s people for His servants in the gospel.

Want to help?

• Add the Co-op building project to your prayer list.
• Share this opportunity to support students with your friends and family.
• Consider a generous financial gift to support this next chapter.

Thanks to a generous donor, we have the opportunity to match dollar for dollar up to $225,000 toward the new home the Food & Clothing Co-op deserves. That means your gift goes twice as far to provide this ministry of love a new home to continue providing daily bread for another 50 years and beyond!
