Welcome Home
CTSFW is a thriving community where students, faculty, staff, and families interact daily. Frequent on-campus events keep students and their families engaged in the life of the campus and in Christian fellowship with fellow Lutherans.
Coffee Hour
Join classmates and faculty members daily after chapel for fellowship and coffee.
Gemütlichkeit
Spend time at the end of the week in fellowship with students, faculty, and seminary families during the academic year.
Student Government Association
The Student Government Association (SGA) of Concordia Theological Seminary fosters the spiritual, academic, and physical welfare of the students and their families by funding and supporting seminary community events and the Seminary Women’s Assembly (SWA), facilitating intramurals, distributing devotional booklets during Lent and Advent, and publishing Cornerstone, a biannual student publication.
ToastPastors
Speaking is what pastors do, above all—not only preaching and teaching, but also greeting, directing, chairing, and generally being “on.” ToastPastors at CTSFW provides experience, encouragement, and low-stress (ungraded) coaching for a variety of public speaking settings based on the model of Toastmasters International.
Seminary Women’s Assembly
This group of student wives and deaconess students encourages friendship among the women of campus through classes and social activities. Learn more on the Spouses and Families page.
Special Events
Throughout the year, CTSFW hosts special events for students, their families, and the seminary community, including a Christmas Marketplace, Community Recital, Chili Cookoff, and an International Food Festival. Our Seminary Guild also hosts receptions, recognizes student birthdays, gives gifts to newborns, and provides snacks during finals.
