This week, Christian Theological Seminary marked an important milestone with the public launch of RISE UP: The Campaign for Human Flourishing—the largest comprehensive campaign in CTS’s history, with a goal of $18 million.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters during the quiet phase, RISE UP has already surpassed $14.8 million—nearly 83% of its goal. This progress reflects a deep belief in CTS and in the difference this work can make.

RISE UP invests in people and communities through four priorities:

• Faithful Leadership — Preparing leaders to serve congregations and communities.
• Equity & Justice — Sustaining and deepening the Faith & Action Project’s decade of work equipping faith and community leaders to address systemic injustice and advance long-term stability and economic mobility for individuals and families through collaborative, data-informed approaches.
• Healing & Wholeness — Expanding access to mental health care and preparing counselors to serve with skill and compassion through the CTS Counseling Center and School of Counseling.
• Sustaining Generosity — Building the philanthropic support that will sustain CTS’s mission and help meet emerging needs.

The launch began with a celebratory gathering and the announcement of the campaign’s public phase, followed by a thoughtful conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham, moderated by the Honorable Myra C. Selby.

CTS is grateful to the benefactors, trustees, Advancement team, and colleagues whose care and commitment brought RISE UP to this milestone. There is much to celebrate—and important work still ahead. The public launch invites more people to Rise Up With Us and help shape CTS’s future and build stronger communities.

A stronger Indianapolis begins with how we see, support, and invest in the next generation.

In Marion County, **41% of households experience poverty or fall below the ALICE threshold**, including 38% of households with children.

Behind these numbers are young people who need more than programs. They need meaningful relationships, access to opportunities, and communities where they feel seen, supported, and valued.

**What role will you play in helping the next generation thrive?**

Join us at our upcoming conference as we explore how we can work together to create opportunities, strengthen communities, and invest in the future of our young people.

Be part of the conversation. Be part of the change.
