Support the Congregational Partner Grant Program

How Does the Congregational Partner Grant Program (CPGP) Work?

For Academic School Year 2026-2027

STEP ONE

Congregations Give
A congregation gives money to support their student’s tuition at MLC.

STEP TWO

MLC Matches

MLC matches gifts from congregations dollar for dollar up to $1,750.

Where does MLC get the funds to provide the match?

The match is made possible by generous donors who support the program year-round.

ALSO

Gifts given on MLC Day directly fund the match.

STEP THREE

Student’s Tuition Is Lowered

Total gifts support tuition for future ministry leaders!

$1,750 from the student’s congregation

$1,750 matching grant from MLC

= $3,500 toward a student’s tuition!

Approximately 90% of MLC students receive CPGP monies.

“My church doesn’t have any students at MLC this year, but I donate because it’s the right thing to do to ensure the next generation of Christian school teachers and pastors.”

Matching Individual

“Since we didn’t have any students currently on the worker training path, we wanted to support other students who were. We rejoice in the fact that we are walking together with a larger body of believers to spread the gospel to the world. We are happy to support the advance of the gospel, and those who proclaim it, in any way we can!”

Matching Congregation

Will You Be the Match?

Congregations are investing in their students through CPGP—and MLC is matching those gifts to reduce tuition and make ministry preparation possible.

But we can’t do it without you.

Even if your congregation doesn’t have a student at MLC, your gift can fund the match for others.

With your help, CPGP will contribute $1.9 million to student tuition accounts this year — a testament to your faithful, sustained giving.

Help sustain this program and ensure future students receive the same support.

To God Be the Glory

We at MLC thank Jesus for the wonderful support and interest of so many individuals and congregations who seek to help students train for ministry. Truly, God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine!
