Welcome to an amazing place! As a student at Luther
Seminary you are participating in a great adventure. In fact, you
are now experiencing one of the greatest of spiritual adventures. No
matter where you find yourself at Luther — no matter in which
program or in what place in that program — you are discerning what
it means “to be called and equipped by the Holy Spirit to serve as a
leader for Christian communities.”
It is a great privilege for the staff and faculty at Luther to serve
you, guide you, support you and cheer you on as you become one of
those leaders. As you listen to the Spirit working and guiding you,
you will be engaged in both an educational and a discipling process
within this seminary community. Within this process, our faculty is
committed to an educational strategy of four interrelated movements:
-
Learning the Christian Story
-
Interpreting and Confessing that story
-
Leading in Mission according to the Story
-
The Call to Discipleship
This Student Handbook will provide you with lots of information
about Luther Seminary and our life together that you will find
helpful to know. Keep this book close at hand for future reference.
Please know that we commit ourselves not only to educate you for
leadership but to pray for you as you discern God’s call and God’s
preferred future for your life in this amazing place.
