Wartburg Theological Seminary forms resilient leaders in a Christ-centered community, equipping them to serve a changing church with a strong Lutheran voice. Together, we nurture communities marked by curiosity, creativity, joy, belonging, dignity, and the hope of Christ's resurrection.
Community is at the heart of theological formation at Wartburg and is what sets our degree and certificate programs apart. As we continue to strengthen our Master of Divinity (MDiv) and Master of Arts in Diaconal Ministry (MADM) programs, we are also investing in new and innovative approaches to leadership formation.
Over the next three years, Wartburg will:
- Develop a competency-based formation program for Synod Authorized Ministers (SAMs) and other lay leaders rooted in a baptismal understanding of ministry.
- Reimagine the Master of Arts curriculum to meet the evolving needs of church leaders.
- Strengthen faculty development to enhance Wartburg's signature "one classroom, three modalities" learning model.
