We invite you to explore our strategic priorities as we continue to fulfill our mission to educate leaders for Christian communities. Luther Seminary’s Board of Directors and Foundation Board of Trustees approved the updated three-year strategic plan in February 2025.

Luther Seminary’s strategic plan (2026-29)

Core values

• Gospel-centered: Everything we do is anchored and animated by God’s promises in Christ.
• Learner-focused: We steward the callings of leaders for Christian communities by providing
  accessible and affordable theological education that meets the needs of a wide range of learners.
• Academic: We are a community of learning rooted in the church’s rich history of intellectual
  rigor that engages the Christian tradition, scripture, and today’s world.
• Welcoming: We belong to God and one another and therefore welcome each other as Christ
  welcomes us into an inclusive community of belonging.
• Agile: We are freed by the grace of God to lead with curiosity, be biased toward listening and
  collaboration, and adapt to serve the changing church and world.
