WHO WE ARE

In a college and world that is increasingly non-religious as well as religiously diverse, the Lutheran Center creates spaces to encounter Lutheran identity and tradition, navigate across lines of religious difference, and explore our individual and collective vocations in ways that open us to the needs of others. Our strategic engagement with communities of faith beyond campus puts these same principles into practice in our support, accompaniment, and resourcing of both professional and lay leaders.

Why Treaties Matter

In our sesquicentennial year, we aim to create a more expansive narrative around the college’s founding, one that includes a fuller history of our location and our relationship to our Native neighbors and so we have helped to bring the WHY TREATIES MATTER EXHIBIT to campus.

What Nourishes You?

Thursday, December 5, 8:30–9:30 p.m. — Dr. Jo Beld. RSVP here.

Strategic Engagement with Communities of Faith

The Center draws on gifts of Lutheran tradition to nourish Christian congregations and their leaders. In our work with congregations, we support deepening understanding and application of the core commitments of their traditions, foster individual and communal spiritual engagement and renewal, enhance the ability to discern and live into God’s personal and communal call, and nurture faithful leadership within and beyond congregations in ways that contribute to the common good.
