Help Write La Mesa's Story

As La Mesa Academy for Theological Studies welcomes its third cohort of students, you can help make this multilingual learning community possible for leaders who are already serving in churches, ministries, and communities. Your support helps form students with the theological depth, cultural awareness, and practical tools they need to lead across difference and serve their communities with greater clarity and purpose.

During the month of August, your gift of $50 or more will help support La Mesa students as they receive a community-driven, world-class theological education through Candler School of Theology. As a thank you, donors who give $50 or more will receive a limited-edition La Mesa journal. AND your gift will be multiplied 4 times, through a special $4 for $1 match!

Accessible, culturally informed theological education requires a community of people willing to invest in the formation of leaders who will return to their communities with deeper wisdom, stronger tools, and a renewed commitment to share the love of Christ. Your gift helps write La Mesa’s story and the stories of the students being formed through this program. La Mesa Grows Leaders who build new models of ministries that transform the Church and their communities.

Gifts must be made between August 1 and August 31. This opportunity may close early if supplies run out.

The Fair Market Value (FMV) for the La Mesa Journal is $15.00. Your donation amount in excess of the FMV will be treated as a charitable contribution. Please consult your tax professional for advice on how FMV could affect the tax deduction associated with your donation.

Note: To opt out of receiving a journal, please email annualgiving@emory.edu after making your gift.
