FORT WAYNE, Ind. (CTSFW)— Every summer, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW), offers a number of continuing education sites across the country.

Classes are open to both church workers as well as lay people.

Sites are listed below by date, with the first few courses taking place three months from now.
