Applications now being accepted for 2026–27
Apply now or encourage a prospective student!
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
You’ve no doubt heard the message: The Church needs workers. Whether you are interested in seminary formation yourself or are mentoring a prospective seminary student, now is the time to begin an application for the 2026–2027 academic year. The priority deadline for applications is October 31, 2025. All residential students who complete an application by this deadline will receive a free book at New Student Orientation that will be used in one of their first classes.
We continue to accept applications after the priority deadline, but we strongly encourage you to complete your application no later than January 31, 2026, to be eligible to apply for one of our merit-based scholarships.
Our admission counselors are here to help you or someone you know discern whether the vocation of pastor or deaconess is a good fit. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our Admission Office. We look forward to future conversations with you.
In Christ,
Rev. Matthew Wietfeldt
Assistant VP, Admission
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne
