Support Christopher Hayes' Seminary Journey

Hello friends, family, and anyone who feels led to give,

My name is Christopher Hayes, and I’m answering God's call to pursue seminary education. This fall, I will be starting my journey toward a Master of Divinity through Gateway Seminary — fully online, allowing me to continue serving my community while preparing for future ministry.

I have been blessed to have amazing mentors and amazing opportunities to grow in my ability to serve the church. Through involvement in youth ministry, college ministry, and even international missions, I have learned so much and hope to further develop my ministry skills through formal education. I am committed to growing deeper in theology, leadership, and biblical teaching so that I can better serve the church and those in need. Seminary is a serious financial commitment, and as I start out, I am taking it one step at a time — enrolling in fewer classes my first semester to keep the burden manageable while working and staying involved with ministry now.

The total cost for my first three semesters (fall, spring, and summer) is approximately $4,000, covering tuition, technology fees, and textbooks. I am seeking your support to help meet this need and launch this next chapter in faithful preparation for ministry.

If you feel led to give, any amount would be a blessing.

More importantly, I would also deeply appreciate your prayers for wisdom, endurance, and continued faithfulness as I step forward in obedience to God's call.

Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and your prayers. I’m excited to see what God will do in this season!

"And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry."

— 1 Timothy 1:12

Blessings,

Christopher Hayes
