As of March 16, 2020: In light of COVID-19 and in support of communal efforts to promote the health of visitors and community members, the Luther Seminary Admissions Office has CANCELLED High School Preview 2020. We look forward to sharing more information about next year’s High School Preview in 2021.
Another excellent Twin Cities event you can consider inviting your high school youth is the Augsburg Youth Theology Institute July 12-17, 2020. Contact AYTI Co-Director for Programming Adrienne Kulcher Eldridge for more information at eldridge@augsburg.edu.
The Model
Preview is designed to celebrate emerging young leaders! It is an opportunity for pastors and other servant leaders across the Midwest to lean into discipleship and to accompany the high school students in whom they see ministerial gifts on a trip to Luther Seminary. These students soak in the beauty, diversity, and creativity of the theological formation at Luther, building up questions and tools for further conversation around discernment.
The Questions
- What does it mean to be called?
- What does the landscape of ministry look like right now?
- How are the ideas of call, ministry and seminary related to each other?
