Who are we?
Grow in Grace was established by Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in 2010 to mark a new emphasis on the continuing education work that has long been one of the two tasks that the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod has entrusted to its seminary.
Our mission statement, vision, and goals give a quick overview of what this work is all about.
Mission
Grow in Grace connects pastors to gospel-focused resources for growth and to gospel-filled encouragers to support that growth.
Vision
Pastors value Grow in Grace’s partnership for lifelong growth in their calling as pastor.
Goals
Events & Courses Deliver Christ-centered, accessible, and ministry impacting events and courses built around the four theological disciplines of biblical theology, systematic theology, historical theology, and practical theology.
Retreats & Mentoring Provide collaborative opportunities for pastors to learn from one another and to gather with peers celebrating similar ministry milestones.
Strengthening Ministry Deliver gospel-rich resources that assist pastors to partner with others in honestly evaluating their callings and to plan for growth with confidence.
Growth Resources Deliver informal resources useful for individual or group study that assist pastors in spiritual and professional growth.
