Trinity Lutheran Seminary

“If you are lucky enough to take some time, any time, to grow and study here, do it! Dedicated teachers will push you to develop the gifts you came with and encourage the gifts you never knew you had.  As you research, worship, and create with your peers, you learn from their unique backgrounds as well. It has been such a blessing to take part in daily worship, to participate in service playing, planning and prayer.  The music program is demanding, and so completely worth it. You'll feel like you developed a whole new set of wings for your future.”
