One Mission – Endless Opportunities

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.

Congratulations to our 2022 Graduates!

Rejoice as we celebrate the culminating event of the academic year! On Saturday, May 14, MLC students earned degrees marking the completion of their ministerial training at Martin Luther College.

Annual Golf Classic

The Martin Luther College Golf Classic is coming up on Monday, June 13, 2022. Shotgun start is at noon, followed by dinner at New Ulm Country Club.

We are thankful for the support this event has provided the students of MLC for 30 years, and we are looking forward to another fun day of golf and fellowship with all our supporters of MLC! Donations will be designated for campus improvements and scholarships. Learn more.

Equipping Christian Witnesses

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.

“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.”

“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.”
