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 travel the United States to share their expertise with pastors, church workers and laypeople during workshops hosted by local churches.
Formerly known as the Summer Workshop Series, the 2020 workshops cover topics ranging from Amos to the Apocalypse, Pre-Constantinian theology to post-denominational challenges, the psalms to 1 Peter. Browse the list below to find and register for workshops near you.
