Next Steps is geared toward prospective students who are married. This event provides participants an opportunity to connect with the Concordia Seminary community, especially with students and their families, to help them learn how to thrive as a family while at the Seminary.

Owing to unforeseen circumstances, the Next Steps visitation event has been postponed. A new date for Next Steps will be posted here soon. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you!
