SVS Press Patrons

Patrons play a major role in the mission of SVS Press to spread the gospel and educate the world about Orthodox Christianity. Patrons who sponsor SVS Press titles boost SVS Press & Bookstore revenues, which in turn feed the Seminary’s annual operating fund. 100% of the net profit of SVS Press revenue directly supports the training of future priests and lay leaders in the Church.

As a Patron of an SVS Press book, you will receive gratis copies of the book once published, as well as a printed acknowledgment in the book.

If you’d like to become an SVS Press Book Patron, contact our Chief Advancement Officer, Ginny Nieuwsma, at ginnyn@svots.edu.
