Workshop Series
The Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop Series offers three days of in-depth study on contemporary topics that influence the practice of ministry and worship. Bringing the Seminary to you, members of Concordia Seminary’s faculty host workshops live online to share their expertise with pastors, church workers and laypeople.
