2026 September — CTSFW Priority Application Deadline

Admission Application Priority Deadline Approaching

There are days until the priority deadline for the 27–28 Admission Application.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Are you thinking about becoming a pastor or deaconess? CTSFW accepts applications year-round, but we encourage you to submit your CTSFW admission application for the 2027–28 academic year by October 31, our priority application deadline. Those who apply before October 31 will receive a copy of Lutheran Service Book: Psalms and Hymns Pocket Edition at new student orientation in September 2027.

If you’re still discerning whether pastoral ministry or deaconess service is for you, an in-person visit can make all the difference. We invite you to visit our campus while classes are in session to experience life at CTSFW. Our next Prayerfully Consider Visit (PCV) is October 8–10. Register today at ctsfw.edu/pcv. If you cannot make it to our fall PCV, you may schedule your own visit at ctsfw.edu/visit.

After you complete your admission application, be sure to apply for merit scholarships before February 28. Find information about our scholarships here.
