The Academy
The Academy is ILT's undergraduate school. In an effort to offer a school where students can hear the Word and do not want to pursue an M-Div or the like, ILT created The Academy! Here a student can find three programs, 1) Rapid Pastoral Certification (RPC), 2) Christian Life Series (CLS) our online Bible study, and 3) Ministry Certification.

Christ School of Theology
The Christ School of Theology (CST) is the ILT's graduate school where a student can pursue a Masters of Divinity (M-Div) - this is the standard degree normally sought in preparation for ordained ministry. Here too the student will find the Open Studies (OS) program - This provides the student with the opportunity to take graduate courses of their choosing without obligation to the curriculum of a specific degree.

And how are they to hear?
"But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’" Romans 10:14-15
In every age the Holy Spirit calls forth preachers of the Gospel and sends them with the Word of hope, the Word of forgiveness, and the Word of new life that is Jesus the Christ. Accordingly, every age struggles to find the most effective ways to train and educate those who have been so called.
The Institute of Lutheran Theology partners with congregations to train preachers and teachers both to know and proclaim the true gospel of Jesus Christ and to expose the false gospels of the world. Rooted in Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions, ILT gives students the tools to confess and proclaim the good news of Jesus the Christ.
The Institute of Lutheran Theology is an independent, pan-Lutheran theological education project that works with all who share our conviction that God is at work in the world bringing sinners to repentance and new life in Jesus the Christ.
In addition to providing theological education for pastors and teachers, the Institute offers a variety of lay courses through the ILT Academy, courses that work extremely well for adult education within congregations.
Sending out faithful proclaimers of the good news has never been more crucial than it is today. Will you join us?
