Day of Giving
RPTS has a very unique opportunity to multiply your financial support this fall! The Pittsburgh Foundation, one of the country’s largest community foundations, will be sponsoring a Day of Giving on October 4, 2011. Donations made to RPTS on that day will be matched by the Pittsburgh Foundation, thereby increasing your gift to the Seminary. The Pittsburgh Foundation helps local charitable foundations pool their resources for effectiveness which they then share with local organizations such as RPTS. We have great faith in the Pittsburgh Foundation and their ability to support the Seminary. CLICK HERE for more details!

Construction Update!
Some things are changing around here this summer! We have undergone a project that will open up the entryway to the seminary. We have removed a garage, and an old portion of wall and will be adding a new sign adjacent to our existing brick sign. These changes are adding parking, and increased visibility of the campus.
