Forming Servants for Christ’s Church
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, forms pastors and deaconesses who are grounded in the Scriptures, faithful to the Lutheran Confessions, and shaped by the liturgical life of the Church. The CTSFW Fund directs your support where it is most needed, sustaining the residential formation of servants who teach the faithful, reach the lost, and care for all.
Providing for Generations to Come
A key component of our strategic plan is to build the endowment, which will safeguard the Seminary’s mission so that future generations will be served by faithful pastors and church workers. By strengthening this foundation, you ensure that Christ’s Word continues to be preached in its truth and purity and His Sacraments administered according to His institution, now and in the years ahead.
Restoring the Light of Kramer Chapel
Kramer Chapel is the heart of our community, where daily Matins, Vespers, and the Divine Service order the life of the Seminary. Time has dimmed its windows and skylights, obscuring the light that once filled this sacred space. With your help, the chapel can be renewed so that its beauty and function continue to serve generations of future servants of Christ’s Church.
Building a New Co-op to Support Students
The Food and Clothing Co-op supplies seminarians and their families with food, clothing, and household items at no cost, easing the burdens of study and daily life. A new co-op with more space and easier access will allow this vital work of mercy to continue with greater effectiveness, supporting those who prepare here to serve Christ’s flock.
Additional Opportunities
In addition to the priorities above, the Seminary offers several additional giving opportunities—from Chapel & Music and the Food & Clothing Co-op to International Theological Education, the Military Project, and the Student Adoption Program. As always, your partnership with CTSFW sustains students, supports church workers, and advances faithful Lutheran teaching worldwide.
