Honoring 100 Years. Investing in the Next 100.
For nearly 100 years, Nelson University has prepared students to impact the church, the mission field, and the marketplace for Christ. As we approach our Centennial, we are celebrating God’s faithfulness while looking ahead with faith and expectation for what He will do next.
Through the $2,027 by 2027 Initiative, we are seeking 100 individuals and 100 churches or organizations to make a gift of $2,027 by May 2027, in honor of our 100th year. Together, these investments will help multiply our mission, expand opportunities for students, and prepare future generations of Christian leaders.
Join us as we celebrate the first 100 years and invest in the next century of Kingdom impact.
