A seminary education is costly and it is important to help our future and current pastors through seminary with little or no education debt. The Leadership Investment Fund through Education will help alleviate the financial burden of clergy responding to the call to serve our church in the Oklahoma Annual Conference.  Many times a young clergy family is burdened with an enormous amount of student loans after seminary. The average debt of a person graduating from seminary is often far more than the annual salary for entry-level pastoral jobs.
