Luther Seminary educates leaders for Christian communities called and sent by the Holy Spirit to witness the salvation through Jesus Christ and to serve in God's world.
Luther Seminary was originally founded in 1876 by the Norwegian Synod. The Seminary has gone through a series of mergers covering more than half a century. What was originally six separate institutions is now one.
The oldest of the antecedent institutions was Augsburg Theological Seminary, founded in 1869 at Marshall, Wis., as the seminary of the Lutheran Free Church. It remained a separate seminary until 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church and Augsburg Seminary was united with Luther Seminary in St. Paul.
In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), theological education is supervised and directed by the Division for Ministry. Luther Seminary is the largest of eight ELCA seminaries in the United States providing theological education to equip people for ministry.
