Welcome to the website of the oldest and most historic of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's seminaries.

Gettysburg Seminary is located in the small but dynamic town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania where we prepare persons for leadership and various ministries in the church and society.

Here you can find information about the Gettysburg experience: the academic program, admissions process, financial aid, and more. You can virtually meet the Seminary President and our faculty, and hear from students too.

You can find news items and publications such as the Seminary Ridge Review and a weekly assistance in preparing for preaching. There is so much available on this site that if you cannot find what you are looking for, we ask you to let us know so that we can help and respond.
