Contemplate

For College Students/Second-Career Men and Women

Dates

Sept. 19-20, 2023

Contemplate is an event for college-age or older potential students. It provides an opportunity to learn more about life in the Concordia Seminary community and the preparation that leads to service as a pastor, missionary, chaplain or deaconess in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).

Overview

Contemplate attendees will engage in sessions that focus on the spiritual and personal aspects of the decision-making process of becoming a seminarian, as well as learn about the academic programs, field education, vicarage or internship year, financial aid, housing and the enrollment process. The spring Contemplate event coincides with the Multiethnic Symposium to give participants the added bonus of attending symposium plenaries and events. The fall event will coincide with Theological Symposium.

Things to note

Please have a Bible with you.
