Sterling College is excited to announce a $1 million pledge from a generous, anonymous donor family who shares the college’s commitment to missional purity and biblical fidelity. This pledge represents a transformational investment in the college’s mission to develop servant leaders through Christ-centered education.

“We are thrilled to support private, Christian education in Kansas, and Sterling College stands out as an institution deeply rooted in biblical values and a Christ-centered mission. In this moment in our culture, Sterling College offers a truly unique and invaluable education grounded in a biblical worldview. President Rich and his team are committed to carrying this mission forward, and it’s an honor to invest in such a place, knowing its lasting impact on students and the broader community,” said the donor. 

The pledge will be fulfilled over the coming years, providing crucial resources for scholarships, faculty development, and campus programs that align with Sterling’s mission. It reflects the family’s desire to ensure Sterling College remains a beacon of Christian education for generations to come.

“Christ-honoring, mission-centric education is at the core of our institutional DNA. Our foundation on the primacy of the Word of God demands an obedience to the Scriptures as we educate through the lens of a worldview that is often counter to culture and society. May the Lord find us faithful as we pursue students with the Truth of the gospel and may we steward the resources the Lord provides for His glory,” said Dr. Scott Rich, president of Sterling College.

Sterling College recently celebrated its annual Day of Giving on November 1, 2024, during which the College community came together to support the Sterling Fund. The event was a success, showcasing the generosity of alumni, students, faculty, and friends, and reinforcing the spirit of giving that makes gifts like this pledge even more meaningful.
