About us
"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others" (2 Timothy 2:2).
The continuing scriptural purpose of Ministerial Education is the preparation of candidates for the public ministry of the gospel to proclaim Christ's love in the congregations, schools, and mission fields of our fellowship. A special emphasis of the last biennium has been to identify and meet the continuing and changing needs of our church body at this point in the history of the holy Christian Church. Our report gives you an overview of the efforts to coordinate that work. The reports from the four ministerial education schools demonstrate how they are carrying out their mission on your behalf.
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.
WELS maintains four ministerial education schools:
Luther Preparatory School
Michigan Lutheran Seminary
Martin Luther College
Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary
