Seminaries

To prepare men to serve Lutheran Church–Canada as pastors, provide specialized education for deacons, and deliver continuing education for all, LCC established two seminaries: Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, St. Catharines, Ontario (1976) and Concordia Lutheran Seminary, Edmonton, Alberta (1984). The seminaries offer Master of Divinity (MDiv) programs leading to ordination, Master of Theological Studies (MTS) degrees, and additional courses onsite and online for pastors and laity.

Pastors with Alternate Training

The Pastors with Alternate Training (PAT program LCC also offers courses to prepare men for the pastoral ministry who can serve in specialized situations.

Continuing Education

The church also encourages pastors to continue their education after receiving their MDiv degree.
