Join Us in Preparing Exceptional Leaders for the Church!

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.

A Message from President Bliese

Statistics show that the U.S. has become the fourth largest mission field in the world. That means that in most neighborhoods, for example the neighborhood where you live or the neighborhoods around your church, at least 50% of your neighbors do not go to church. They do not know the Biblical stories of Creation, the Exodus from Egypt, the stories about Israel and the prophets or even the story about Jesus Christ and His love for the world.

"My energy will be dedicated to supporting and educating our students to become missionary disciples with the commitment and skill to lead congregations in mission."
