4th QUARTER MISSION PROJECT – The mission of Martin Luther College is to train a corps of
Christian witnesses who are qualified to meet the ministry needs of the Wisconsin Evangelical
Lutheran Synod (WELS) and who are competent to proclaim the Word of God faithfully and in
accord with the Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord. MLC also offers professional growth
opportunities and synod certification for called workers who are already serving in the ministry.
The Congregational Partner Grant Program (CPGP) was implemented for the 2016-2017 academic
year to allow congregations to provide assistance to students attending MLC. When a congregation donated to the program to support incoming freshman with up to $1000 per student, their funding would be matched by MLC. During the second year of the the program, it was expanded to include
sophomore students as well. During th first year of the program 78 churches participated. In 2017-18 the number has risen to 145. This year 239 first-year and/or sophomores received grants. Please join with us as we support our future teachers and pastors.
The students and faculty of Martin Luther College thank you for your prayers and for your continued support in educating future WELS pastors and teachers.
