Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne,
Indiana, exists to serve the body of Christ, and the
students who attend the seminary are here for that
same purpose. Upon completion of their studies
these church workers will go into the world
equipped with God’sWord and the knowledge they
have gained to strengthen and serve His body, the
church.
However, when these future church workers move
their families to begin their seminary studies, they
leave behind family and friends, as well as their
financial security. Many assume great indebtedness
as they pursue the vocation of pastor or deaconess
By participating in the CTS Student Adoption
Program you will receive first-hand awareness of the
seminary’s mission and its service to you and the
church. Through your interaction with students
who are dedicating their life to serving the Lord, you
will have the opportunity to share in the joys, and
occasional sorrows, of their journey. In this tangible
and direct manner you can be an active participant
in the formation of pastors and deaconesses. Your
support will provide moral and spiritual
encouragement through prayer and correspondence.
In addition, your financial assistance will help
provide for the physical needs of students and their
families, from paying the utility bills to buying shoes
for the children. An additional benefit of this
program is that students form strong relationships
with the individuals and congregations that adopt
them as they share the seminary experience.
