Plans for Summer Quarter 2026 are taking shape and we encourage you to consider joining us for one or both weeks. The courses are set, and we believe this year’s lineup offers an excellent range of learning opportunities.
We are also expecting ten or more international pastors from our global confessional Lutheran fellowship. Summer Quarter provides a unique opportunity to learn from them, learn alongside them, and encourage them in their ministry.
In addition to the courses, several optional evening events are planned each week, including a ‘Meet the WLS Faculty’ event, evening dorm fellowship, and a Thursday evening lecture. These gatherings provide valuable opportunities for conversation, fellowship, and encouragement.
Because on-campus Summer Quarter takes place only once every two years, we hope you will take advantage of the opportunity in 2026. Many who attend once find themselves eager to return the next time it is offered.
Enrollment opens March 23 and closes May 18.
Pastors attending Summer Quarter will also receive the Augsburg Confession Packet, a free resource designed to help you plan and lead a Sunday morning worship service. The packet includes a full set of materials that can be used together or adapted to fit the needs of your congregation.
Special Note: WLS Graduates from the classes of 2016–2023 should check their inboxes for information about a special invitation to Summer Quarter.
