Lewis Sperry Chafer Legacy Program
What is the Lewis Sperry Chafer Legacy Program?
Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) honors every planned gift made by a donor with recognition as a special partner within the Lewis Sperry Chafer Legacy Program. We invite you to join together with us as we equip godly servant leaders for the proclamation of His Word and the building up of the body of Christ worldwide, by creating a planned gift to DTS.
What is the next step?
If you have already arranged for a bequest or other planned gift, we would delight in being able to recognize and thank you for your partnership and support. If you are considering a planned gift, please see Ways to Give or call one of our Planned Giving Officers at the Foundation and they would be honored to assist you in your giving journey.
