Called to strengthen and support…
Harlan Beckemeyer, a 1965 graduate of Eden, has made a powerful impact on students preparing for ministry. Not only is he a pastor whose influence has touched countless lives, his many ways of giving have created a ripple effect that will touch generations to come.
Harlan helped spearhead the effort to raise $150,000 to endow a full-tuition scholarship known as the Kentuckiana Scholarship. Moved by his commitment, his son and daughter surprised Harlan and spouse Ann with a gift for their 40th wedding anniversary — a scholarship in their honor raised by friends and loved ones. Harlan has mentored and supported students, and he and Ann have made sure their giving will outlive them by including Eden in their estate planning. The students touched by the generosity of Harlan and Ann have found their own lives changed…
“Ministerial bulbs are nurtured by the elements of prayer, encouragement, support and hope. Harlan and Ann cared enough to nurture me without even knowing me. That reminds me there is more to the world than the soil of seminary — it prepares me to burst forth as a growing leader in the church! “

Eden student
“Having had the privilege of receiving my seminary education and of knowing the supportive fellowship of the Eden community, I remain grateful for the wonderful experience of those life-changing years. I want to express appreciation through support and friendship as an alumnus. It’s delightful and impressive to get to know students who are receiving scholarships we support. We appreciate their calls to and their wonderful gifts for ministry.”
