Financial Information

Financial Information

Atlanta Cumberland Theological Seminary receives financial support from many sources including the Cumberland Presbyterian Churches, its sponsoring presbytery, which gives an annual allocation from denominational benevolences and income from endowments. Substantial support is also given by the larger Atlanta community, other denominations that have a significant number of students in the seminary, various church groups, and individuals and groups interested in theological education.

Added to these resources is the income from tuition and fees. The endowment continues to grow through generous gifts from individuals, denominations, and organizations. Interest earned from these funds is directed for use by the seminary in accordance with the Endowment Fund instrument that is negotiated when an endowment fund is established. The principal of the endowment fund is always reinvested.
