Center for Missional Leadership

A new era of mission calls for new missional leaders.

Do you feel called to be a missional leader in today's changing world? Mission is no longer just about reaching across oceans. We have to reach across our own backyards as well. Are you ready to think of mission in a new way?

Welcome to Luther Seminary's Center for Missional Leadership, a strategic initiative that brings focus to the seminary's charge to develop apostolic leaders for a new era of mission in today's changing world. This initiative across four degree programs (M.A., M.Div., D.Min., Ph.D.) is supported by a teaching team of faculty from multiple disciplines.

The Center for Missional Leadership is a collaborative learning and leadership network involving scholars, students, and local church and denominational leaders across the globe. It is focused on engaging the diverse contexts for the gospel through rigorous theological and social scientific inquiry, with a particular interest in congregations as they participate in God's life and mission.

We're eager to interact with missional leaders like you, as we learn, grow and enter into this new era of mission together.
