Ministerial Education
WELS Ministerial Education works to provide workers for the more than 1,200 churches and 750 schools in the synod. WELS provides this education through a system of four schools: two high-school-level preparatory schools, a college, and a seminary.
Resources on Connect
Ministerial Education resources for called workers and congregational leaders are available on Connect, WELS' Intranet.
Our worker training system
Centered on the one gospel of Jesus Christ, the four-school ministerial education system serves as an integral ministry of WELS and exists for the one purpose: to prepare well-trained servants for the church.
Training for the ministry
WELS maintains four ministerial education schools:
> Luther Preparatory School
> Michigan Lutheran Seminary
