Curated Resources for Christian Education

MLC prepares men and women to public ministry needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) and to proclaim the Word of God faithfully and in accord with the Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord. To support our prospective students, current learners, and alumni, the MLC Library has worked closely with our faculty to curate openly available resources to support Christian educators. These resources are especially relevant to our APPLE program, as many of the individuals interested in our program or enrolled in our coursework are currently serving their home congregation and elementary school.

  • The Inventory of Christ Light Materials — The inventory is organized by grade and topic to help teachers plan for their own lessons and work with faculty across the school.
  • OER Theology Resources — This curated list includes over a hundred resources listed by specific topic. While each of these topics can guide our faith, several may be specifically relevant for those who serve in our schools. Bible Study, Devotions, Lessons & Activities for Children, Sunday School and VBS, and Worship and the Church Year may support your planning and preparation for the elementary classroom.
  • Issues in Lutheran Education — This blog is operated by the MLC Office of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education. Content addresses a variety of concerns that impact the instruction, learning, and culture within all levels of Lutheran education.
