Leading with the Gospel for more than 175 years


Midway through Orientation week, campus is buzzing
Midway through Orientation week, campus is buzzing with activity — directory photos, ID cards, campus tours, workshops, meet and greets, chapel services and more!


Rev. Thomas Boeck (pictured left), pastor of Peace
Rev. Thomas Boeck (pictured left), pastor of Peace Lutheran Church in Conway, Ark., is back on campus during Orientation Week — but this time, not as a student, but as a mentor. 

A 2014 graduate of the Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) Program — followed by the SMP to General Pastor Certification (GPC) track — Boeck knows firsthand the journey of pastoral formation in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).

Now he has come full circle, serving as a mentor for new SMP student Jason Hancock. What once began as his own path to ministry has now become an opportunity to guide the future generation.
The SMP Program is a four-year state of the art distance education program that prepares men for specific pastoral ministries in the LCMS. Learn more at csl.edu.

August is National Make a Will Month. Preparing for the ultimate distribution of the treasure you have accumulated during your earthly life is the final act of Christian stewardship. There are easy and cost-effective ways to plan today to give you peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out.

 Here are some benefits of having a bequest in place:

•  You control how your property or estate is distributed
•  A bequest may produce estate tax savings
•  You can designate multiple beneficiaries. If you are interested in helping further our mission of 
  preparing church workers, consider naming Concordia Seminary as one of your beneficiaries. 

If you would like to create a plan for your future or need to update an existing plan, our Wills Planner can help you get started. Learn more at csl.giftlegacy.com or contact us at 800-822-5287 or plannedgiving@csl.edu.
