Alumni Fund New Statue and Scholarships

The new Fisher of Men statue was unveiled and dedicated on MLC Day, May 5. After a COVID-delayed granite shipment prevented the installation last summer, we are thankful and excited to see it in place.

The statue sits at the center of the MLC mall on a base mirroring that of the Luther statue, with Scripture selections on all sides. It reminds us that Christ is at the center of MLC’s mission. It also reminds us of Jesus’ words in Matthew 4:19: “Come, follow me, and I will send you out to fish for people.”

Special thanks to the hundreds of alumni who generously contributed to this 25th anniversary gift.

The campaign also endowed a new scholarship fund and awarded the first two scholarships to 2021 grads Rachel (Schewe) Steinbrenner (St. Peter-Clovis CA) and Ryan Mitchell (St. Paul-South Haven MI).
