Lutheran Graduate School of Theology

And the angels said, “behold I bring you good tidings of great joy…”

I am excited to be a messenger of great news to you this Christmas. Wittenberg Institute has 16 students this year. These men and women have studied scripture, theology and the Lutheran Confessions. They began studying in September and will soon be finishing their first semester. One of these students has shared his convictions about our program.

I also want to thank you for supporting us so we could move ahead in our goal of providing quality education for students preparing for pastoral ministry. We could not have reached this point if you had not believed in what we could do. Thank you again for trusting us with your financial support for this ministry.

As we approach the end of the year, we have some bills that need to be met. And so I am asking for your help right now. Would you be able to give a gift of $100, $500, $1000 or more at this time? Perhaps for some, you could repeat what you have given in the past. Whatever you can give will of course help. But please take time to send your generous gift in now, you can even donate online.

Please know that because you give we can offer the kind of Lutheran theological education that will help these young men and women become pastoral shepherds to sheep who need to hear the message of good tidings of great joy… for Jesus is born.

Thank you for prayerfully considering what you can give this Christmas. To donate online please follow this secured link.

May the peace of Christ be with you,

———————————–

Wittenberg Institute is a graduate school that educates biblically minded confessional Lutheran thinkers and pastors for the church. The essential work of Wittenberg Institute is carried out through its degree programs, publications, convocations and seminars. All educational degree programs are designed for advanced academic research and are self-motivational in nature. Currently Wittenberg Institute is offering both Master of Divinity and Master of Theology (research and taught) degrees.

This is achieved through a collegial ethos, connecting world-class visiting scholars called Faculty Fellows with students. The camaraderie and mentoring provided to students goes beyond the traditional classroom setting, creating lasting relationships and instilling a lifelong pursuit of learning.

Wittenberg Institute publications similarly reflect the commitment to academic research, principally through the theological magazine Believe Teach and Confess, a collection of research oriented essays written by the Faculty Fellows of the Wittenberg Institute, and Wittenberg Survey, an annual collection of essays by the students of Wittenberg Institute.
