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.

Celebrating Blessings! MLC Day is Wednesday, May 7!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. – Ephesians 1:3

On MLC Day 2025, we will celebrate the blessings God has gifted to our WELS ministries – through the pastors, teachers, and staff ministers who faithfully proclaim his Word and through the individuals and families who support this work.

With your gifts, we hope to add another $130,000 to the Congregational Partner Grant Program matching fund so that more students will receive financial assistance for their journey to the public ministry.

Once Upon a Crime: The Trial of Goldilocks

May 3, 3:00 & 7:00 PM
(Martin Luther College Auditorium)

Will justice be served in this hilarious fairy-tale courtroom play packed with characters we all know and love? It’s up to your audience, which serves as the jury and determines how the play ends! Goldilocks is the defendant, on trial for breaking and entering. The plaintiffs are—you guessed it—the three bears. As their lawyers Henny Penny and Tom Thumb go toe-to-toe hoping to prove their respective clients’ cases, other fairy tale characters are called to testify as witnesses, including Hansel and Gretel, Jack and Cow, and Granny. Even the Big Bad Wolf takes the stand, but can any of these witnesses be trusted themselves? Is Goldilocks guilty or innocent? With multiple endings to cover each possible outcome, YOU get to decide her ultimate fate, so don’t miss Once Upon a Crime: The Trial of Goldilocks!

Tickets are $3 for all attendees and will be sold at the door only, beginning 30 minutes before each show time.

“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.”
