Give a gift to the theological community at VID

• The School of Mission and Theology (Misjonshøgskolen) was established in 1843 by the Norwegian Mission Society. Since 2016 it has been part of VID Specialized University. Although much has changed, our commitment to the global church remains strong. As a private educational institution, we receive lower government grants than public institutions. Therefore, support from donors like you is much appreciated.

Your gift helps us continue our collaboration with theological partner institutions in the Global South. In later years, the gifts we have received have for example helped us recruit more students from Madagascar, Cameroon, and South Africa. These students also enrich the learning environment for our Norwegian students with new perspectives. In addition, we have many international doctoral students at the Centre for the Study of World Christianity and Religion. Half of all our Ph.D scholars come from churches on the African continent.

We sincerely thank you for your support and your commitment to the global church!

What does the support go to?

When you give to VID Stavanger, you support:

• Study programmes in theology: We focus on mission, pastoral training, and continuing education for pastors from around the world. We encourage students to become stronger voices in church and mission, both nationally and internationally.
• Centre for the Study of World Christianity and Religion: Here, we emphasize research with a global and missional dimension.
• Global Scholarship Program: This programme gives master's students in theology from our partner institutions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America the opportunity to study theology at VID.
