At CTSFW you will be immersed in community with your brothers and sisters who seek to serve our Lord. From the classroom to the dorm room you will live out the Gospel each and every day together as fellow servants under the Cross.

In 1517, a young monk challenged the authority of the Roman Catholic Church on requiring donations for the forgiveness of sins. This dissent gave rise to a renewed understanding of the Gospel as taught by the Scriptures. Today, CTSFW carries on the traditions of the reformers, calling the Church back to its historical confession.

Learning is easiest in a like minded community of believers who can create and nurture a culture of scholarship. There are a number of reasons that Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne is the best place to be formed for service in our Lord’s Church.
