The Case for Supporting Luther Seminary

Luther Seminary graduates are sent into a mission field that is as close as our front door and as far away as Asia and Africa. God is at work in the world and Luther Seminary is committed to preparing graduates who can proclaim God's word in a world of many cultures and religions.

Luther Seminary graduates are pastors and Christian educators, church musicians and seminary professors. There are literally thousands of ways our students and graduates share the gospel of Jesus Christ to a world that hungers to hear it.
