Claremont Sunday CST 101 Claremont School of Theology (CST) is your seminary. One of 13 United Methodist seminaries in the US, CST is officially designated to serve the people of the California Pacific and Desert Southwest Annual Conferences. For more than 50 years, CST has educated women and men of Cal-Pac to become leaders for the Church. Today, more than 300 resident clergy throughout Cal-Pac are CST alumni/ae. Why Celebrate Claremont Sunday? Claremont Sunday is a moment of thanksgiving. Today, we give thanks for the relationship between our church and our seminary that makes it possible for the United Methodist Church to live out its Gospel mission. Theological education is impossible without our churches. They are the beating heart of our faith - the place where faithful followers of Jesus come for nourishment and are pumped back into the world inspired by the Gospel. Why Give? Today, a special offering is being taken to support the Young Clergy Initiative - a new program of CST and Cal-Pac to lift up the next generation of United Methodist leaders. Your financial gifts will help to support a staff person dedicated to our shared mission in developing young leaders for our Church. And it will help to provide the resources for that person to work directly with the churches and people of Cal-Pac. Stay In Touch!
