Seminary Training
Lutheran Mission – Australia recognizes that the strength of a church and its mission is intimately connected to its seminary and the teaching that is offered there. As Confessional Lutherans in Australia, we are uniquely placed to serve not only our own churches, but also the churches of Southeast Asia as they seek faithful education of their future pastors and church workers. We are committed to in-person instruction by experienced and confessional pastors which provides the best environment to train pastors and church workers in the faithful proclamation of the Word of God and the care of souls.
To this end we have begun investigations into the establishment of a seminary in Australia and are engaging with international partners to ensure this is done faithfully and sustainably. We expect a seminary will be up and running within the next 3-5 years.
In the meantime, however, God continues to call men to study for the Office of the Ministry and so we have established a partnership with the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod to train men at their seminaries in St Louis and Fort Wayne. We would like to introduce you to our first two pastoral students:

Sending families to the United States for post graduate study is an expensive endeavor, but the blessing of well-trained pastors far outweighs any costs we might incur during this interim period. And yet the bills have to be paid! If you would like to contribute to the pastoral formation of these and other future pastors, please click the Donate button below to give. If you have a specific purpose for your donation, please indicate this in your bank transfer reference details (for example, you might wish to name a particular student simply list ‘seminary training’ and it will be used where it is needed most).
