Concordia TheoBLOGical Seminary

10. Coffee. Nothing defines a Lutheran like his coffee, and we have plenty. We’ve even got our own Lutheran brew: Reformer’s Roast.

9. Athletics. Our basketball team, the Kingsmen, hasn’t beaten the Concordia Seminary Preachers in at least ten years. This makes our athletic events even more relaxed and enjoyable. With very little pressure, we’re having pure, unadulterated fun!

8. Campus. We have a peaceful one-hundred-ninety-acre campus, complete with a glistening lake, sleek fish, waddling geese, groves of trees, and rustic walking and running trails. You’ll never know you’re in the middle of the city . . . unless you take a study break and leave the library once and a while (which we highly recommend).

7. Food. There’s a Taco Bell, McDonalds, and Subway within walking distance of our campus. (This is a major selling point for our single seminarians.) Oh yeah, and our cafeteria food is tasty too.

6. Faculty. Two Dr. Scaers work here, and the seminary is still standing.

5. Gemutlichkeit. Enough said. (For those who need clarification, every Friday evening finds the entire seminary community—students, families, and professors—gathering for  Lutheran beverages, snacks, good theological discourse, and plenty of humor.)

4. Walther Library. With more than 150,000 items for your use, there’s no reason you shouldn’t get an A on every paper.

3. Deaconesses. Women who are interested in using their uniquely feminine gifts to serve both their Lord and their neighbor are welcome to study in the deaconess program. Plus, if a button falls off your coat, they’re so diakonal that they’ll fix it for you.

2. Kramer Chapel. Until you’ve heard a hymn sung by hundreds of men in Kramer Chapel during the daily service, you’re missing out. No. Seriously. You are.

1. Formation. Concordia Theological Seminary exists to form servants in Jesus Christ who teach the faithful, reach the lost, and care for all.

So, now, WHY haven’t you visited?
