SUSTAINING THE MISSION

DONOR HONOR ROLL

Message from the President Dear Austin Seminary Friends, When the history of theological education in the 21st century is written, the core narrative will highlight feats of adaptation, resilience, innovation, and missional rootedness. At Austin Seminary, we continue to strive to occupy a renowned place in this history. From a newly adopted brand and message that recommit to equipping leaders who embed their faith with purpose in service to the church, to a curriculum focused on bridge-building skills in a highly polarized and divided society, Austin Seminary has invested its energies, programmatic development, and resources to facilitate this groundbreaking work. A shift in how institutional achievement is defined has allowed us to focus on new areas of growth and enhancement as we pursue our mission through partnerships, a deliberate focus on the next generation of Christian leaders, ongoing support for the development and wellness of those called into ministry, and an educational commitment to form adaptive and imaginative leaders. While theological institutions have had to manage a shifting landscape, where many churches are experiencing decline and financial pressures, Austin Seminary continues to engage denominational and congregational partners to infuse vitality into faith communities still called to make an impact in their localities and in the world. The Seminary equips congregations with new ways to communicate their story, engage all generations in the task of proclamation, and foster leadership development among lay leaders. In return, the Seminary has maintained steady enrollment that defies the trend among peer institutions and demonstrates promise for the church’s future. As we present this report, Austin Seminary prepares to launch the 2026-2031 Strategic Plan, approved by the Board of Trustees following an active year of institutional analysis and listening sessions with alumni, students, faculty, staff, and seminary donors and friends. The new strategic plan demonstrates an investment in Austin Seminary’s future by directing the institution to explore greater accessibility to our academic programs alongside the proven success of our residential model, to continue the ongoing transformation and use of our beautiful campus, to strengthen our commitment to the public witness rooted in theological knowledge, and to deepen educational and ecclesial connections that prepare students to lead faithfully and purposefully in a fast-paced world. We remain grateful for the support of all who feel called to walk alongside Austin Seminary, to sustain momentum and enter this strategic phase. We are confident that we live in a Spirit-led moment when the church that God is missioning into the world is emerging – like a latent seed awaiting workers like us to tend the soil – with the expectation that a bountiful harvest awaits its season. In deep hope,

The Reverend José R. Irizarry, PhD President

In the News AUSTIN SEMINARY RECEIVES $10M GRANT TO ESTABLISH THE CENTER FOR THE ARC OF MINISTRY

Austin Seminary has received a $10 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to help establish the Center for the Arc of Ministry. The Center will feature collaboration with Schreiner University, Austin College, Huston-Tillotson University, The Presbyterian Pan-American School, and The Hispanic Youth Leadership Academy. The Center will offer new programs to engage high school and college students in vocational exploration through experiential and cohortbased learning. Built upon the principles of faith formation, innovative leadership, and Christian service, Austin Seminary will launch Faithful Innovator cohorts. In these cohorts, students from partner institutions will engage with curriculum designed to encourage young leaders to reflect on their spiritual and vocational identities. “The aim of Lilly Endowment’s Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative is consistent with our mission to educate and equip people for Christian service and leadership,” said Austin Seminary President José R. Irizarry, “and this grant will accelerate three of our four vision pillars—inspiring the next generation of Christian leadership, supporting the arc of ministry, and creating a learning community through strategic partnerships.”

In June 2026, Austin Seminary named Dr. Gina A.S. Robinson as executive director for the Center for the Arc of Ministry, effective July 1, 2026. A proud Georgia native with a family legacy of educators, Robinson earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science and African American studies from Emory College, a Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology, and a Master of Sacred Theology from Yale Divinity School. Her formal education culminated in a Doctor of Philosophy in religious education from Garrett Seminary. “By inviting Dr. Robinson to serve as the founding Executive Director of the Center for the Arc of Ministry,” said Irizarry, “we have invested this initiative with scholarly ambition, visionary leadership, and a passion for the vocational lives of young people preparing to be agents of change in the church, their communities, and society at large.” Under Robinson’s leadership, the Center for the Arc of Ministry is poised to deepen the Seminary’s tradition of preparing adaptive, imaginative leaders to make an impact where God calls them.

AUSTIN SEMINARY CALLS STEPHANIE A. BUDWEY TO SERVE AS PROFESSOR OF SACRED MUSIC AND DEAN OF THE CHAPEL Austin Seminary has called Stephanie A. Budwey, ThD, to serve as Professor of Sacred Music and Dean of the Chapel, effective July 1, 2026. She fills the position formerly held by Professor Eric Wall. Budwey is coming to Austin Seminary from Vanderbilt Divinity School and the Graduate Department of Religion, where she has served since 2018 as assistant professor of the history and practice of Christian worship and the arts.

Worship (2020) and contributed several chapters in edited volumes and encyclopedia articles. Budwey has also authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and served as a podcast guest, conference presenter, and invited lecturer.

The Reverend Dr. Margaret Aymer, academic dean and vice president for academic affairs, said of Budwey, “It will be a privilege to work with such a respected and established teacher, scholar, liturgist, and musician. Dr. Budwey exhibits the heart of a pastor, the creativity of an artist, and the passion of one inspired by Christ’s call to love neighbor, stranger, and enemy. Her scholarly curiosity includes areas of theological inquiry not currently represented on our faculty. She will be a remarkable addition to our collegium.”

In addition to her considerable scholarship, Budwey is a recognized educator, having received the Faculty Service Award from the Vanderbilt Divinity School Student Government Association, and an accomplished musician, serving as organist at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Nashville, Tennessee, since 2019.

Budwey is the author of two books, Religion and Intersex: Perspectives from Science, Law, Culture, and Theology (2023) and Sing of Mary: Giving Voice to Marian Theology and Devotion (2014). Budwey co-edited In Spirit and Truth: A Vision of Episcopal

Budwey shared, “It is truly an honor for me to join the Austin Seminary community. Worship and music are central to the Seminary’s spiritual and intellectual life, and I am incredibly excited to join such a diverse and inclusive community.”

Message from the Board Chair Friends of Austin Seminary, God’s presence and power continue to envelop the Austin Seminary community. I am grateful for the ongoing flourishing of our students, alumni, faculty, and staff this past academic year. Under the anointed leadership of President Irizarry, ◆ In May, we granted 31 master’s degrees and 13 doctorates. We also celebrated 13 individuals who had earned a Certificate in Ministry in the last year. ◆ We were awarded two transformative Lilly grants: $1 million for “Borders and Bridges,” helping to prepare ministers for 21st century leadership, and $10 million to establish the Center for the Arc of Ministry, which will expand the reach of theological formation and vocational discernment through deepening partnerships with Austin College, HustonTillotson University, Schreiner University, Presbyterian Pan-American School, and The Hispanic Youth Leadership Academy. ◆ Three members of the esteemed faculty published books: Ted Foote co-authored Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America: A Guide to Reclaiming the Good News of God’s Grace; Gregory Cuéllar released Migration and Western Biblical Interpretation: Empire, Method, and the Politics of Displacement; and David Jensen authored Elements of Christian Faith: An Introduction to Theology. ◆ We added more talent. We called Stephanie A. Budwey, ThD, to serve as Professor of Sacred Music and Dean of the Chapel. We also announced Gina Robinson, PhD, to serve as executive director for the new Center for the Arc of Ministry. Also, the Board of Trustees engaged in an audacious, strategic imagining of how Austin Seminary will steward its call to serve the church, work that culminated in the adoption of a five-year strategic plan. Informed by the input of all stakeholders, the 2026-2031 Strategic Plan is clear-eyed about ongoing changes in the church and society and the attendant need for and interest in theological education. The Plan prioritizes the formation of faithful and adaptable church leaders, the engagement of the church and society in public faith, expanded access to theological education for new learners in new formats, and the strengthening of Austin Seminary’s institutional capacity and presence in God’s world. I am excited to see the plan implemented over the next five years and invite your faithful participation in this God-breathed momentum in the life of Austin Seminary. It has been my pleasure to serve as the Board Chair for the last two years, and I am excited for the incoming Board leadership of the Reverend Dr. Chris Currie. As the grandson of a former Austin Seminary president, a fourth-generation Presbyterian minister, the Pastor of St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church in New Orleans, Louisiana, and an immensely talented scholar, writer, and preacher, Chris is well-equipped to lead the Austin Seminary Board of Trustees in the implementation of our strategic vision.

With great appreciation and big love,

The Reverend Denise Nance Pierce (MATS ’11)

Grant awarded: Professor Jennifer Lord received a Vital Worship, Vital Preaching Grant to research the spirituality of liturgical time. The grant, through the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and funded through the Lilly Endowment Inc., will allow the Seminary to examine how parishioners experience and describe the feasts, fasts, seasons, and days of the Liturgical Year — with special attention to how the church’s sense of time intersects with daily patterns defined by nonstop work, productivity, and availability. She is equally interested in the liturgical sense of the present (now) and in how it differs from the sense of the present as described by media theorists when we are immersed in social media algorithms.

FACULTY-LED PROGRAMS

Children’s Sermons by Children

During the 2025-2026 academic year, the Children’s Sermons by Children (CSbC) grant focused on building infrastructure, collecting data, and establishing relationships. CSbC united with the Faithful Preaching Project under the Sharing Faith Initiative umbrella, and Amanda Herridge joined the team in July 2025 as Associate Director. The project first focused on its “Listening Tour,” visiting numerous Central Texas congregations to interview 55 participants, including 35 children. These interviews explored children’s experiences of worship, favorite Bible stories, and opportunities for leadership. Findings have already encouraged participating churches to involve children more actively in worship. In the first six months of 2026, the project hosted a cohort surrounding children in worship. During these online meetings, children’s ministry experts presented ideas to the group, and group members presented their own ministry successes and challenges to one another. The Sharing Faith Team and members from the cohort met for dinner to celebrate the completion of a very informative and transformative cohort. Participants reported that the lessons and discussions increased their confidence and encouraged them to more intentionally and creatively engage children as active participants in worship. The grant also formed an advisory consultant team, presented at Austin Seminary’s Progressive Youth Ministry Conference, and held two workshops. The online workshop with children’s ministry expert Carol Wehrheim focused on biblical storytelling, and the in-person workshop with Austin Seminary alumna the Reverend Dr. Jen Kindsvatter (DMin’26) had adult & youth participants creating story blocks and practicing sharing Bible stories with the blocks. These activities expanded awareness of the project, strengthened partnerships, and generated momentum for future cohorts, workshops, and congregational support as the initiative continues to nurture children’s leadership and faith formation in worship.

Faithful Preaching Project

During the 2025-2026 academic year, the Faithful Preaching Project (FPP) continued its planned work through clergy retreats, coaching cohorts, preaching workshops, and planning for the 2027 Sharing Faith Conference. Following the launch of the Children’s Sermons by Children grant, both initiatives were unified under the new Sharing Faith Initiative title, with a shared logo, website, and monthly newsletter. Additionally, Associate Director Amanda Herridge was hired to support both grants. FPP hosted two preaching workshops - one led by the Reverend Dr. Jared Alcántara, which focused on convictional preaching during divisive times, and a second led by the Reverend Dr. Alyce McKenzie around fiction-writing strategies for sermons. Clergy cohorts continued meeting twice monthly online and gathered for retreats emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and spiritual renewal. The clergy cohort even held one retreat on the Austin Seminary campus to lead chapel and host a dinner for students! Participants reported that these retreats strengthened both their preaching and their sense of community. Lay preacher coaching also continued through an online cohort. Graduates of the first lay cohort independently formed an alumni group that continues meeting monthly for peer feedback and spiritual practice. Participant feedback consistently highlighted increased confidence, authenticity, and deeper connections with fellow preachers, reinforcing the project’s central goal of cultivating faith-filled, authentic proclamation.

Progressive Youth Ministry

The 2025-2026 academic year marked a significant season of growth and transition for Progressive Youth Ministry (PYM), Austin Seminary’s national network supporting leaders committed to compassionate, just, and inclusive ministry with young people. In November, PYM welcomed approximately 250 participants to Austin for the 2025 Progressive Youth Ministry Conference, “Resistance Is Love.” Held November 13–15 in partnership with University United Methodist Church, the gathering brought together ministry leaders, pastors, educators, students, and scholars from across the country. Through plenary sessions, workshops, intensives, conversations, and communitybuilding events, participants explored the theological and practical work of accompanying young people amid a rapidly changing cultural landscape. The conference also marked the launch of Flourish: A Journal of Progressive Ministry, PYM’s new publication bringing practical ministry wisdom into conversation with serious theological reflection. Flourish includes an annual print journal together with quarterly digital issues, creating an ongoing avenue for PYM to amplify diverse voices and provide thoughtful, accessible resources for

ministry leaders throughout the year. PYM is also producing tangible benefits for Austin Seminary. The network has become an important pathway into the Seminary’s Master of Arts in Youth Ministry (MAYM) program. Three of the twelve students entering the MAYM program in 2026 were recruited directly through their involvement with PYM, demonstrating the network’s growing role in connecting emerging and established ministry leaders with theological education at Austin Seminary. Looking toward 2026-2027, PYM made the strategic decision to shift its primary programming online rather than hold another large in-person conference in Austin. With a national network of approximately 4,200 people, online gatherings offer opportunities to reach substantially more leaders, reduce geographic and financial barriers to participation, and foster theological learning and community throughout the year. This transition positions PYM to broaden its reach while developing a more sustainable model for its next chapter.

The Borders and Bridges Grant Initiative: First-Year Progress The Borders and Bridges grant initiative is in the midst of a productive first year. Our inaugural Bridge to Ministry cohorts, serving ministers in their first three years in ministry, began in late August with a retreat at Mo Ranch where twenty-two new ministers and four clergy facilitators met for worship, rest, renewal, and formation. The cohorts now begin to meet monthly for spiritual development, collegial dialogue, and prayerful support using a companion guide that mirrors the rhythms of the liturgical seasons. We are grateful to alumna the Reverend Dr. Britta Martin Dukes (MDiv’05, DMin’24) for developing an exceptional companion guide for these cohorts and to our facilitators, the Reverend Matt Falco (MDiv ’10), the Reverend Cindy Eschliman Mood (MDiv ’15), the Reverend Monica Smith (MDiv’99), and the Reverend Michael Gable (Columbia Seminary alumnus) for serving as our facilitators.

In the upcoming academic year, we will launch our student support programming. First-year seminary students are completing an Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) and conflict resolution training in partnership with Preferred Path Conflict Resolutions as part of new student orientation. All students will participate in a conflict resolution workshop and a church budgeting workshop, and second- and third-year students may elect to join a spiritual formation group using an excellent companion guide authored by the Reverend Callie Swanlund, author of From Weary to Wholehearted. These efforts reflect our continued commitment to equipping ministers with the spiritual formation and practical skills necessary for effective, sustainable ministry.

LIVING THE MISSION:

2026 Graduate Feature The Reverend Colton Hedrick graduated with a Master of Divinity in May and received the Chidester Award for Excellence in Preaching. This August, he began serving as Minister of Word and Sacrament at Grace Presbyterian Church in Temple, Texas, where he lives with his wife, Caitlin Hedrick. A Central Texas boy at heart, Colton grew up in Groesbeck, in rural Limestone County. “Anywhere between the Brazos and Trinity rivers, or anywhere the Post Oak Savannah turns into Blackland Prairie feels like home to me,” he says. His path to ordained ministry drew on that same rootedness. Raised a Reformed Baptist and married in 2020 to a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) ruling elder, Colton had, as he puts it, “all the ingredients of a young budding Presbyterian.” When Austin Seminary opened its doors to the couple in the spring of 2022, he found the institution he needed to grow into his call. “I trust that it was the Holy Spirit who led me,” he reflects. Austin Seminary revealed itself as the place to be honest with himself, with the possibility of ordination in the PC(USA), and with God. For Colton, moments of affirmation were difficult to single out—not for their scarcity, but for their abundance. “Austin Seminary was truly the most affirming space I have ever found myself in,” he says. What has stayed with him most are the relationships: friends in ministry who have become colleagues in ministry.

One professor’s influence stands out. The Reverend Dr. Jennifer Lord, Colton notes, is both academic and pastor at once. “Her ability to embody homiletics and liturgical theology with integrity still has a lasting impact on me,” he says. Her teaching accomplished two things at once—conveying rich theological substance while modeling how to embody, even incarnate, the central things of the Christian faith. “She talks the talk and walks the walk,” Colton says.

“I look forward to sending her too many emails in the years to come.” The admiration runs both ways. “As a citizen of classroom space, he showed up, intent and ready to learn,” Dr. Lord says. Reflecting on his leadership across campus, she continued: “As a chapel beadle, during committee meetings, on Student Senate, as research assistant, in confidential support of others, and in casual encounters around campus, it seemed of one whole cloth for him: sacred space, sacred people, sacred time, sacred work, all in the presence of God.” Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) proved essential preparation for the road ahead. Serving through CPE at Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, Colton found the experience filled in the gaps of his formation and smoothed out his rough edges. “If Austin Seminary did not include CPE as a part of the MDiv,” he admits, “I may still be stuck in that ivory tower you hear about sometimes.” Colton’s new congregation sees in him the very gifts for which they had prayed. Throughout Grace Presbyterian’s discernment process, the church sought a pastor who was collaborative, joyful, mission-minded, grounded in theology, and passionate about spiritual growth across generations. “We consistently saw those qualities reflected in Colton’s gifts, experience, and vision for ministry,” says Kevin Cushman, chair of the Pastor Nominating Committee. Known for his creativity, warmth, and relational leadership, Colton embraces the Reformed tradition while encouraging the church to keep growing, learning, and responding to God’s call in today’s world.

The Center for Lifelong Learning This has been a year of building — some of it visible, some of it foundational work that will carry Lifelong Learning for years to come. The Certificate in Ministry, a nine-course credential for lay leaders and ministry practitioners without access to a full seminary degree, moved fully into active governance this year. Students are progressing through a two-year course rotation built out through 2029, combining online asynchronous coursework with two campus weekends for hands-on formation in worship and Christian education. Lifelong Learning also advanced the Certificate in Spiritual Formation, a new Lilly Endowment–funded credential launching in Fall 2027. A dedicated committee spent this year building its five-course architecture and learning outcomes — work that will shape how Austin Seminary forms spiritual directors and companions for a generation. The Spanish-language certificate, the Certificado en Ministerio, is being reimagined this year — not simply translated from English, but rebuilt from the ground up in partnership with the Seminary’s Latinx Studies colleagues to reflect the communities it actually serves. 12

Cultivating Ideas, the public webinar series, and the seasonal Lifelong Learning blog continued to bring theological reflection to practitioners and seekers well beyond the campus. And alongside Library colleagues, Lifelong Learning made real progress building Quartex, a new pedagogical platform that will let Austin Seminary teach directly from primary-source archives rather than simply house them.

Through the College of Pastoral Leaders, Austin Seminary awarded five $10,000 clergy renewal grants and three $3,500 grants through its Latinx cohort, sustaining pastors in the same spirit of rest and renewal it hopes to model for the whole church. Along with its certificate and online work, the Center for Lifelong Learning hosted several events on the Austin Seminary campus to promote Black History Month and Latinx Heritage Month. These efforts included a concert with musical guests, The Levites, to celebrate black history, and a Service of Corazón y Comunidad, celebrating the Latine faith, language, and heritage. None of this happens in isolation. The Seminary is grateful for continued partnership with the South Central Region of the Association of Presbyterian Church Educators (SCRAPCE), Horizons, and the Hispanic Ministry Missions Network, and for a seminary community that keeps investing in formation long after graduation.

GRANT-FUNDED PROGRAMS

The 787 Collective spent the year focused on building community, centering the voices and experiences of young adults, and supporting them in their ongoing faith formation and ministry leadership. Through Collective Threads, young adult ministry leaders are weaving connections with other young adult ministry leaders in their city through shared stories, Christian practices, and mutual support. Rooted in faith and growing through connection, these ecumenical groups meet monthly to nurture resilience and renewal amid the joys and challenges of ministry. Collective Threads are currently meeting in Dallas, Fort Worth, Bryan/College Station, and North Austin. We are looking to expand our tapestry to new cities in the coming year. “Next is Now” addresses the challenge of transitioning from college-age ministry to young adult ministry. We partnered with Wesley Foundations at UT Austin and the University of North Texas, the UKirk Collegiate Ministries at SMU, and an ecumenical ministry at Mary Hardin-Baylor; as well as the chaplaincy offices at Huston Tillotson and Schreiner Universities to help graduating seniors navigate this transition. These ministries hired young adults to foster belonging and community among recent graduates and build partnerships with local congregations that move beyond transactional relationships toward deeper mutual engagement.

Many young adults are interested in making a pilgrimage to places such as the Camino de Santiago, but such opportunities are not always accessible. Following an initial pilot pilgrimage in Austin, we are working with young adults to explore pilgrimage as a Christian practice that deepens faith and strengthens community through shared experiences. We have developed a resource for creating pilgrimages to discover the sacredness of their everyday surroundings, spiritualize the place they call home, and uncover the soul of their city. We released 29 new episodes of The Collective Voice podcast. Each episode amplifies the voices of young adults, shares their experiences navigating life’s transitions, offers solidarity to other young adult listeners, and provides valuable insights for ministry leaders and others seeking to support and engage young adults more effectively. We look forward to continuing the work of the 787 Collective as we deepen relationships, expand opportunities for support and faith formation, and amplify the voices of young adults within and beyond the church. Learn more about the 787 Collective at www.787collective.org.

The Austin Story Project launched to the public in January 2026 when more than 60 people were trained to lead Story Circles. They spread nationally across congregations, church-related organizations, and non-profits to lead groups of eight people in six sessions of story sharing—telling their own human experience alongside Jesus’ story of his human experience. They tell of times of being beloved, being in the wilderness, of suffering, compassion, resistance and resurrection. We built the practice believing that people need enchantment, belonging, and transformation, and that those needs are met in intimate gatherings around Jesus. In this first year, we have discovered we are onto something. People in the Circles want more. Some continue to meet in covenant with each other after completing the six-week

session, including young adults who are not part of church life. Story Guides ask for more stories because people are hungry to become closer to each other and to Jesus. More people want to learn how to lead. Adult Sunday School classes want to make Story Circles a regular practice. Pre-school teachers at the church daycare find their way to connection, empathy, and lovingkindness and want to pass it on to parents. A newly heard story of God becoming one of us compels people. The world thirsts for immersion in fresh stories and in transcendent communities. The Austin Story Project is making it possible for many. Learn more at www.austinstoryproject.org and consider signing up to be trained as a Story Circle Leader in January 2027.

Houses of Hope continued as a congregational vitality process that helps churches discern God’s future, strengthen leadership, engage their communities, and develop sustainable ministry practices. Through storytelling, Christian practices, and nurturing the souls of individuals and their institutions, our team of ecumenical coaches accompanies congregations as they discern and take their next most hopeful step. This year, we worked with ten small-town and rural congregations representing five different denominations, spanning from Oregon to New York and Connecticut to Texas.

As we work alongside congregations and judicatory leaders, we continue to share stories of hope emerging through this process. This year, we partnered with a documentary filmmaker to tell the story of First Congregational Church in Woodstock, CT, and its experience with Houses of Hope. The Reverend Dr. Kevin Downer (MDiv’06), senior pastor and Austin Seminary alumnus, along with members of the congregation, shared how the process fostered hope within their personal lives, strengthened their congregation, and deepened their engagement with the wider community.

In addition to working directly with congregations, we hosted a train-the-trainer event in April. Our staff equipped leaders responsible for supporting small-town congregations from six judicatories representing four denominations. After three days at Austin Seminary, participants returned to their contexts to recruit churches and ministry partners and begin implementing the Houses of Hope process. Since then, our staff has hosted two online follow-up gatherings with these leaders and will be welcoming a new cohort of judicatory leaders for our next in-person training in September. The film can be viewed on the Austin Seminary YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/WqgPcF-gjIo To learn more about Houses of Hope, visit: www.ourhousesofhope.org.

Sustaining The Mission Strength to Build On The Seminary’s endowment grew 11% over the past year, even after funding the annual draw that supports our programs, and now stands at $189 million. Market returns of more than 13% helped, and so did the disciplined stewardship of the Board of Trustees, management, and our investment partners. It also reflects the faithfulness of donors whose gifts, large and small, make the Seminary’s work possible. Grant-funded, multi-year initiatives added $8.6 million to the Seminary’s assets this year. These commitments from partner organizations affirm confidence in our programs and give us a stable footing to develop new work over the coming years. Strength also means making hard choices. This year the Seminary decided to end daily on-site food service. Operations had shown consistent losses, and although shared meals helped build community, that value could not sustain the cost. We did not make this decision lightly, and we are looking for other ways to bring students, faculty, staff, and guests together. With a strong balance sheet, growing partnerships, and a clear view of what we can and cannot sustain, the Seminary is well positioned to pursue its strategic goals. We approach the year ahead with confidence and gratitude.

Dear Alumni and Friends, As evidenced in the story of this annual report, there is much to celebrate at Austin Seminary. Two thousand twenty-six proved to be a landmark year for theological education at 27th and Speedway, where faith intersects purpose, and among these celebrations is your faithful support. In a time when the broader economy is marked by volatility, your generous giving buoys the mission of this exceptional institution. I am ever more convinced that people who are generous with their money are generous with their lives. Whether we are visiting the sick, feeding the hungry, practicing intercessory prayer, writing a sermon, or carefully considering a donation, generosity invites us into a new relationship with our resources. Instead of hoarding our time, heart, and treasure, we relate to others with compassion and vision. This is a gospel conversion where priorities are reoriented to aims greater than cultural convention. Generous living discerns that in the kingdom of God there is no such thing as scarcity. When given the privilege to speak about current trends in theological education, presenting research and speculating about future directions, I always open with Romans 12:2. “Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.” These words, written by Paul to the church in Rome, might represent the earliest description of theological formation in the Christian tradition. When we study Scripture, read theology, and engage the diversity of thought encountered through Christian fellowship, our minds are renewed by a faith that is lived as much as learned. In church halls, sanctuaries, and homes, believers engage in collective discernment, knowing what is good and acceptable and perfect. In the pages that follow, you will encounter the individuals, congregations, and organizations who supported Austin Seminary this past academic year — and you may well find your own name among them. If so, know this: your generosity is a testimony to the value of theological formation. This list speaks of minds being renewed, lives refusing to be conformed to a world of scarcity, and hearts discerning what is good and acceptable and perfect. For that gift, and for you, I give thanks. Most sincerely,

The Reverend Ryan N. Arnold, PhD Vice President for Institutional Advancement 18

Give More by Giving Securities As you are thinking about the best way to make your charitable gifts this year-end, consider using appreciated securities instead of cash. Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that you have owned for more than one year can yield multiple benefits. • You are providing support for Austin Seminary’s next generation of Christian leaders. • You will receive an income tax deduction for the full value of the assets rather than what you paid for them. • You avoid having to pay capital gains tax on the increase in value. • You can carry forward any unused deduction for up to five additional years. • You can then repurchase the same securities at the current market price, effectively locking in a new, higher cost basis. If you want to enjoy the tax benefits on your 2026 tax return, your gift must be completed by December 31. Securities gifts are easy to make. Contact Ryan Arnold, Vice President for Institutional Advancement, by phone at 512-404-4807, or by email at rarnold@austinseminary.edu for more information.
