Pillars of the Faith
Continuing the Legacy
 AGTS has chosen to honor men and women who have dedicated their lives to serve Jesus Christ and have followed the call of God in ministry, missions and the training of ministers. We acknowledge their generous contribution to AGTS and its mission to shape servant leaders. The Pillars of the Faith initiative is a symbolic and meaningful way to honor these individuals.
Persons being honored have been nominated by the president and approved by the Board of Directors in addition to meeting the following qualifications:
- Dedicated the majority of his or her life to significant full-time ministry
- At least 65 years of age; a deceased person may be honored
posthumously.
- An endowment gift of $25,000 or more to AGTS in honor of the minister.
