Central/Southern Illinois Synod

Called and gathered by God in baptism, we walk together with Christ
to pray, proclaim, and participate in and through the grace of God.

It's not too late!


It’s not too late to register for classes this fall at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago!  Have you ever wanted to deepen your understanding of the Bible?  Did you ever wish you knew more about what Luther really believed?  Would you like to understand more clearly the teachings of Islam?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, there are classes at LSTC for you.  

If you cannot travel to the Chicago campus our online classes may be the thing for you.  This fall we are offering two courses: Pentateuch and Wisdom Literature and Greek I.  Online courses are a wonderful way to not only immerse yourself in theological study but they also provide a wonderful forum for the exchange of ideas between faculty and students.

The fastest growing program at LSTC is the Master of Arts in Theological Studies (MATS), a really flexible program that lets students take classes in Bible, history, theology and a variety of other disciplines.  This program is designed primarily for those who seek continuing education, professional development or simply want to understand their faith on a deeper level.

Unlike the Master of Divinity, this degree does not lead to ordained ministry, so the application process can be completed in a much shorter time.  If you are interested in registering for classes this fall, or have any questions about online education, please contact Dr. R. Scott Chalmers, Director of Admissions, schalmers@lstc.edu, 773-256-0727.
