One Mission – Endless Opportunities

The mission of Martin Luther College is to train men and women to meet the public ministry needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.

Little Women: The Broadway Musical

November 7-8, 7:30 pm; November 9, 2:00 pm
(Martin Luther College Auditorium)

Grow alongside Louisa May Alcott’s little pilgrims as they wrestle with their inner vanities and seek contentment and joy in a simple life well-lived. The March sisters—Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth—are poor in material comforts but rich in imagination, home life, and spiritual depth. In her book Little Women, Alcott invites us into their warm, nostalgic home where we battle imaginary villains with Jo, witness the foibles of Meg’s early married life, struggle with Amy as she learns to care more for virtue than vanity, and share in Beth’s tears as she embraces her unique story. Little Women: The Broadway Musical captures the charm of this tender family, focusing on the story of Jo. As the oldest, she is the captain of this merry band of childhood adventurers, but as her sisters and friends grow and change around her, she clings tightly to her childhood dreams. Will she discover her true path? Experience the warmth and joy of this beloved story, complete with tender moments, dramatic swordplay, and captivating music that will transport you and encourage you in your own pilgrimage home.

“I was really impressed with the 10 young adults from MLC who helped with hurricane cleanup in Panama City. They represented their Savior and their school very well. All of them were self-starters, and every one worked hard . . . not a slacker in the bunch. They were polite and attentive. These future teachers and pastors give me great hope for the future!”

Pastor John Huebner

“DMLC and now MLC will always hold a special place in our hearts. We have seen firsthand many blessings for our families and ministries, and join others in thanksgiving for this special school.”

Connie Scharf

“Martin Luther College is a special place for students to learn how best to serve the Lord with their gifts as public ministers of the gospel.”

MLC Day Donor

“This institution is blessed with faculty and staff members who are exceptionally committed to the mission of preparing students for ministry, who are exemplary in their care for and involvement with students, and who are gracious in their relationships with colleagues.”

The Higher Learning Commissionof the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools

“I thank God for the privilege of sitting at the feet of Christian teachers and professors who molded my life so to speak in God’s ways.”

Carol Gronholz

“I know the Lord is smiling on MLC for the work being done to train those who will teach God’s Word to the world. There is no work more important.”

Jack Ulrich

“Reflecting on the quality of education that I received at MLC and the quality of the professors that I had throughout the program, I don’t think I could have found that care and attention anywhere else.”

Gretchen HintzMS Ed 2015, Leadership Emphasis

“I love the fact that everyone is so friendly and genuine at MLC. It amazes me how everyone smiles and says hi even if you’ve only chatted once. The unity of the student body is very apparent to me, and the faith that unifies them is incredible.”
