Luther
Seminary is not just for Lutherans
There are over 200 non-Lutheran students enrolled at Luther Seminary.
At Luther Seminary we believe that. No matter what your
denominational background or journey, whether you are thinking about full-time
vocational ministry or refining your spiritual witness in the world through
continuing education, Luther Seminary has the resources you are looking for.
The Luther Seminary community, while distinctly Lutheran
and confessional, welcomes the diversity and strengths of students from all
faith traditions. We believe that theological education happens best in a
community that reflects the world in which we do ministry.
