Holding Up the Mission.
Major gifts build the walls, but Pillars hold up the roof. As monthly partners, we provide the structural integrity for BUF, ensuring that no matter the cultural weather, our mission remains upright and unwavering.
The Weight of the Mission
We live in a cultural climate where the convictions of young believers are under constant pressure. The "weight" of providing an elite, Christ-centered education while keeping tuition accessible is immense. Relying solely on sporadic, large-scale gifts creates a "transactional" environment where we are constantly fixing immediate problems rather than building long-term stability. To maintain our pace of record-breaking growth, we need a foundation that doesn’t shift.
The Model of Consistency
A Pillar is a monthly partner who commits to the steady, structural support of our students. While major gifts might build the walls of a new facility, our Pillars hold up the roof. By choosing to give monthly—whether it’s $30, $75, or $150—you are ensuring that the R.G. Lee Chapel doors stay open, our faculty remains world-class, and our student leaders have the resources they need to thrive.
Sharpening a Generation
When we stand together as Pillars, the outcome is undeniable. We see students whose faith is not just preserved, but sharpened. We see graduates entering the marketplace and the mission field with unwavering conviction, built on a foundation that you helped provide.
Tiers of Support
We have designed three specific tiers to allow every member of our community to find their place in the structure:
Faithful Pillars
Academic Pillars
