### 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.

### 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.

   churches throughout the whole world. With your support you are helping to ensure
   that the Gospel continues to be proclaimed and that Christ-centered mercy and
   care are available to all who need it. Because of you, our students can step

   of Jesus Christ, Him crucified and risen for us all.
