The Rev. Brandon Brewer MDIV’06 leads closing worship in Campbell Hall Chapel at the 2025 Alumni Reunion. Rev. Brewer serves as Director of Adult Bereavement Services at CaringMatters in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
This year’s Annual Impact Report celebrates all of Columbia Seminary’s partners over the past two academic years who helped make our mission and work possible through financial resources and investments.
Entering my 4th year as President, I am moved by the Holy Spirit’s presence in the partnerships that shape our mission and ministry. Columbia’s identity as an institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA) is rooted in collaboration with congregations, ordained leaders, governing bodies, and so many others.
As we worked to prepare this Annual Impact Report, I reflected on the many opportunities I’ve had to witness the Gospel proclaimed by our alumni, experience the compassionate response of congregations to disaster relief, and join with other faithful leaders in meeting urgent community needs over the past year.
Some of my personal highlights include:
✔ Working with the Decatur Housing Authority, Columbia Seminary supported the development of affordable housing and wrap-around services at Legacy Park, located contiguous to campus.
✔ Seeking to strengthen our global witness and theological exchange, I traveled alongside faculty to South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Cuba, and India, to cultivate international partnerships with sister institutions.
✔ Through preaching, teaching, sharing meals, and a little porch sittin’ while at Montreat Conference Center (which I enjoyed immensely), I’ve had the joy of participating in bolstering local and regional partnerships across the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee, and beyond.
Since our founding in 1828, faithful believers, congregations, and others have invested in Columbia Seminary with direct contributions. This year, our 198th, we celebrated an increase of 30% in annual contributions received over the prior year, which is a vital achievement as we work to be good stewards of what God has provided through supporters like you. Two ongoing highlights of our Meet the Call annual fund are:
• The Columbia Friendship Circle, led and promoted by Presbyterian Women, provides meaningful financial aid to a student and their family each year.
• Our Partners in Ministry church luncheons, hosted by Trinity Presbyterian (Atlanta) in 2024 and by Fourth Presbyterian (Greenville) and Myers Park Presbyterian (Charlotte) in 2025.
You are part of a legacy that prepares servant-leader scholars for the Church and the world, and your generosity makes this work possible. Thank you for being a partner who walks with us on this sacred journey.
Wishing you Abundance and Grace,
Rev. Dr. Victor Aloyo, Jr. President, Columbia Theological Seminary
Columbia’s Endowments: A Financial Cornerstone
Columbia Seminary’s endowment reflects generations of faithful generosity from alumni and friends like you.
Named scholarships, faculty chairs, and mission-driven program funds ensure that the legacy of Christian servant leaders lives on—supporting students, faculty, and Columbia’s beautiful 58-acre campus. We are deeply grateful to all whose vision and generosity form the financial foundation of our work to nurture faithful, imaginative, and effective leaders for the Church and the world.
Over the past fifteen years, nearly $126 million in endowment income has supported the Seminary’s mission, including $23 million in FY 2024 and FY 2025. At the same time, the total endowment has grown by $159 million to almost $297 million. Comprised of three funds – the Laura Berry Campbell Trust, the McPheeters Trust, and the Seminary Fund – the endowment is professionally managed under the guidance of the Board of Trustees’ appointed Investment Committee, which is chaired by John Oglesby.
As we report on the Seminary’s finances, we are reminded of Jesus’ teaching in Mark 12:41–44 and Luke 21:1–4, where the
widow’s offering of two coins is honored as a profound act of sacrificial generosity. Her gift, though small in amount, was great in spirit—a lesson for all who seek to follow Christ.

The Seminary Fund Uses (as of June 30, 2025)
Nancy Clifton Kinzer (MDiv ‘11) lived a life of deep and abiding joy. “Nancy was gracious, thoughtful, loving and committed,” says Senior Director of Alumni & Church Relations, Julie Bailey. “Her ministry of care for others and her quest for justice has left an indelible mark on the world.”
Following her death in 2022, Nancy’s family made a special gift to honor her memory and continue her legacy at Columbia Seminary. The Nancy Clifton Kinzer Fund for Shalom was established to provide ongoing funding to create opportunities for alumni to have the time and space for reconnection, reflection, prayer, laughter and care for themselves. “We wish to honor her memory and continue her legacy here at Columbia by creating a program that will allow alumni to take a step away from their busy ministries to nurture their bodies, minds, and spirits,” said Nancy’s mother, Nesie Williams.
“We
In its inaugural year, the Nancy Clifton Kinzer Fund for Shalom provided scholarships to the 2025 Alumni Reunion for alumni who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend, as well as underwrote new wellness offerings including yoga, time with a chaplain, and massages. This fall, the Fund is providing copies of Professor William Yoo’s most recent book, Reckoning with History, for an online alumni book club with Dr. Yoo, and is underwriting the cost of several wellness webinars designed to prevent clergy burnout among our alumni.
Columbia Seminary is honored to partner with Nancy’s family to remember this remarkable alumna and pay tribute to her legacy for generations to come.

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

“The relationships I formed and the ways in which my professors, colleagues, and friends at Columbia Theological Seminary have offered me support, strength, care and encouragement – not only during my time as a student, but well beyond – is the greatest gift CTS gave me. Thank you for the space to grow and discern and to question and to learn and to fail and to figure out who it is that God is calling me to be, and how it is that God is calling me to serve. It’s an ongoing journey… but I sure am grateful for the company I’m keeping along the way.”

In 1948, the spouses of two Columbia Seminary professors encouraged other Atlanta-area wives to contribute one dollar each to help the Seminary. This call to give more than 75 years ago evolved into what is now the Columbia Friendship Circle. Funded through generous annual donations from Presbyterian Women’s organizations, churches, and individuals throughout the synods of South Atlantic and Living Waters, CFC provides scholarship to PCUSA students who attend the seminary with their families and who demonstrate academic ability, financial need, and a commitment to serve the church upon graduation.

Ministering to Ministers provides support and encouragement to clergy and their spouses who have experienced a forced termination from a ministry context, or who are in the midst of conflict that may lead to one. Since joining the Center for Lifelong Learning in 2021, dedicated program leaders and facilitators have walked alongside more than 135 clergy during times of crisis. This year facilitators responded to calls from 42 pastoral leaders to share counseling resources and attorney referrals, provide healing and respite at Wounded Ministers Retreats in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia, and connect clergy into a supportive system of “Friends for the Journey” volunteers.
These programs are made possible through the generous philanthropic contributions of individuals, congregations, and denominational organizations, as well as through a multiyear matching “Thriving in Ministry” grant from the Lilly Endowment. We are pleased to recognize the following supporters who faithfully gave in support of Ministering to Ministers from July 1, 2023 thru June 30, 2025:

STUDENT ABBY BUNN, FLORENCE HILL MORRIS PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP AWARDEE
“I know people think my generation is the future, but I feel like we’re the now.”
Sidetracked by a knee injury – with hopes for a dance career dashed during her junior year in college – Abby Bunn found a calling to a new career goal, “to help guide the next generation forward, to help make this world a good and impactful place.”
Wondering about her future as she worked on recovery and kept up her studies at Marymount College (NY) in 2022, and, as she reported, “always [finding] my deepest sense of faith and belonging within Christ and the church,” Abby reached out to her pastor, talked with her family and consulted women in her Presbytery. “All of this resulted in me hearing the call to a career in ministry.”
On her first visit to Columbia Theological Seminary, she felt she had arrived home. She eagerly submitted her application to the Master of Divinity program and was offered both admission and the Florence Hill Morris Memorial Presidential Scholarship.
Established by former Trustee and longtime financial supporter, William S. “Billy” Morris III of Augusta, Ga., the prestigious Morris Presidential Scholarship is named in memory of his mother, Florence Hill Morris. The scholarship funds the education of academically excellent students who intend to be ordained.
Abby explained that the Morris Presidential Award is a multifaceted blessing. “I come from a low-income, single-parent household with three other siblings. This scholarship means I can focus on my studies without worrying about food on my table or fuel in my car.” She adds, “I haven’t always seen myself as an academic. But this honor affirms that there are diverse ways to creatively study, question, learn, and explore God’s world. Just being on our campus centers me and reminds me of my purpose. It confirms that I belong.”
When asked about being part of the next generation of Christian leaders, Abby says she hopes to begin her career as a youth pastor. “I know people think my generation is the future,” she responds, “but I feel like we’re the now.”
Scripture reminds us of something we know in our bones. We drink from wells we did not dig, eat from trees we did not plant, build on foundations we did not lay. That is the nature of our Christian faith, thanks be to God. Just as we have been blessed by those who came before us, we can bless those who come after us.
Named in memory of Columbia’s longest-serving president (1932-1971), the J. McDowell Richards Society recognizes those who have made lasting provisions for Columbia Seminary’s future in their estate plans. Including Columbia Theological Seminary in your estate planning is an act of faith. You are giving shape to a reality we cannot yet see, something that will only come into full flower after our days are done. We are pleased to recognize the following members of the Richards Society:

JOHN H. WEITNAUER, JR.
John A. Conant, Chairman of the Board, and John H. Weitnauer, Jr. (seated), Chairman of Development and Seminary Relations Committee, in the President’s Room in Campbell Hall, 1992-93
Beyond his extensive life as an enterprise business leader, from his start at Atlanta’s Rich’s department store in 1956—a position that eventually led to him becoming Executive Vice President—through to becoming Chairman, CEO, and President of John Harland Company in 1999, John H. Weitnauer, Jr.’s life was a testament to his Christian faith as a leader in philanthropy in support of education.
John served as a member of Columbia Seminary’s Board of Trustees, President’s Advisory Council, Chair of the Board’s Planning and Development Committee, and Co-Chair of Seminary capital fundraising efforts. He was a longtime member of Decatur Presbyterian Church. Early in his relationship with Columbia Seminary, John established the Weitnauer Family Scholarship, much of which was funded by his estate when he passed away on October 13, 2024, at the age of 98.
“John Weitnauer was generous in every aspect of his life. He was a mentor to many and a joyful person to all who knew him,” recalls Florida Ellis, current Columbia Seminary Trustee and Chair of the Advancement Committee.
As Christians, we believe that our time isn’t limited to our mortal years. There is a long arc to the church’s mission, extending forward well beyond the current moment.
Estate gifts that go toward endowment can grow in ways that rapidly exceed the value of the original gift. This gift to the Weitnauer Family Scholarship will ensure John’s generosity continues in perpetuity.
“By definition, gifts like John’s are an act of faith, laying the foundations upon which future generations will build,” Ellis explains. “They enable us to attract students with the greatest potential for church leadership. They offer resources to our world-class faculty to create innovative programs for students and lifelong learners. They enable Columbia to be faithful to God’s call.”
Columbia Theological Seminary welcomes discussion of planned giving opportunities. Please reach out to Rev. Dr. Charles Wiley at 404-687-4671 or wileyc@CTSnet.edu.

In May 2025 Rev. Dr. Jane Fahey ended her term as Chair of the Board of Trustees, and Rev. Elizabeth Goodrich was elected to fill the role. During her six-year tenure on the Trustees, Rev. Fahey guided Columbia Seminary through a Presidential transition, the development and discernment of a Strategic Blueprint, the adoption of a new Vision Statement, and the completion of an updated Campus Master Plan. We are incredibly grateful for the faithful, compassionate, and thoughtful leadership of Rev. Fahey.

“Local congregations form us in discipleship. And communities of learning like Columbia form leaders for those congregations. The future of the Church and the future of the seminary are intertwined; God calls us to do together what we cannot do alone. God’s church and world need pastoral leaders—the kind of pastoral leadership that continues to be Columbia’s distinctive strength.”
