Concordia Lutheran Seminary
Our Mission
Rooted in 2 Corinthians 4:5, our mission is to prepare men and women for faithful service in the Church. We train men for pastoral ministry in Word and Sacrament, and men and women for diaconal ministry in Word and Service, equipping them to be spiritually mature, pastorally sensitive, theologically grounded, and mission- minded. We are committed to the Holy Scriptures and God’s inerrant Word and the only source of our Christian faith and life, and to the Lutheran Confessions as a true and faithful expression of that Word. As a small seminary, we foster a close, family-like environment where students, faculty, and staff build strong, supportive relationships.
