Our goal is to help existing LCMS congregations reach more effectively into their communities by providing the very best training for men and women who will work under their Pastor and Elders to plant new worshipping communities.
 
The culture of Jesus’ time was extremely anti-Christian; the church which Jesus established had no financial resources initially (Matthew 10:9-10) and no buildings; yet it grew like wildfire.
 
If you are someone who is serious about wanting to help others come to confess Jesus as Lord & Savior (1 Corinthians 9:22) through the planting of new worshipping communities which are under the oversight of an established LCMS congregation; this could be for you.
 
Successful graduates will be considered for advanced education in our Concordia University System & ministry placement.
