KANSAS CITY, Missouri — In what President Jason Allen called an answer to prayer for one of the “most significant institutional needs” since Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s inception in 1957, the school has received a $7 million pledge from an Oklahoma family for a new student center.
Harold and Patricia Mathena, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, have pledged $7 million to Midwestern Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, as a lead gift toward an approximately $14 million student center.
Allen said, “This gift is an answer to (my prayers) and, in a very real way, to Southern Baptists’ prayers since 1957 when … the board of trustees expressed their desire to build a facility for student and family life as soon as possible.”
