Martin Luther
College
A Place To Grow
The mission of Martin Luther College is to train a corps of Christian witnesses who are qualified to meet the ministry needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
Equipping Christian Witnesses is a campaign that gratefully recognizes 150+ years of ministerial training in our synod and at Martin Luther College. The title, “Equipping Christian Witnesses,” reflects not only the mission of MLC—to train a corps of Christian witnesses to meet WELS ministry needs—but also the pillars of this campaign: recruitment, financial aid, and facilities.
