Share Shop
The Share Shop is a ministry that strives to support the mission of SEBTS by supplying resources of necessary clothing and household goods at no cost to our seminary community (students, staff, faculty, alumni, and their families). The Share Shop ministry functions solely through the volunteer efforts of our SEBTS community and provides opportunity for equipping students to serve the church and fulfill the Great Commission through mentoring and discipleship as faculty wives, students, and staff serve and work together.
**THE SHARE SHOP IS CLOSED FROM MAY 31 TO JULY 31.
If a special circumstance or need arises during this time, arrangements can be made for shopping or donating by appointment only. To do so, contact the director at [email protected]
Reopening set for Saturday, August 3.
