Preparing people for Christ-centered leadership and witness for God's mission in the ELCIC and beyond. Discover us, and take up the Challenge.

Lutheran Theological Seminary, a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, nurtures and challenges all people for Christ-centered leadership and witness for God's mission in the world. Our base is in Saskatoon, Canada. Our students are everywhere. We offer online and intensive courses - and our in-person courses are in a variety of places. Live where you are; study with us! LTS is an inclusive community and offers hospitality to all who participate in our programs of study. As disciples of Christ committed to public leadership among God's people in diverse and challenging cultural contexts, we eagerly learn from and welcome one another's diversity, including, but not limited to, theological perspective, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity, relationship status, age, physical ability, social and economic status and sexual orientation. Together with the Anglican and United Churches of Canada (all located on the University of Saskatchewan campus), we form the Saskatoon Theological Union, a uniquely Western Canadian & ecumenical partnership.

What’s the right thing to do?

Whether you’re studying health care, business, education, ministry, or another field, you’ll face questions with no easy answers. Whose needs come first? What does fairness look like? How do we respond when our values pull us in different directions?

There’s a place on campus where the questions in your field meet the questions of your faith.

This November, Practices for Ethical Reflection, taught by Dr. OhWang Kwon, brings Christian traditions into conversation with questions of care, justice, and responsibility. Students will develop ways to think critically about ethical issues in their work and communities.

Interested in exploring questions of ethics through theological study? Learn more about Practices for Ethical Reflection and our other course offerings.

LTS Forums: continuing the conversation

Last week, LTS hosted two online forums with bishops, pastors, deacons, and lay people from across Western Canada to discuss our developing future with St. Andrew's College.

The conversations included thoughtful and direct questions about Lutheran identity and formation, faculty, governance, accreditation, and what these changes could mean for the churches and communities we serve.

Throughout both forums, we returned to a central commitment: Lutheran theological education and formation will remain central to our shared future.

We have prepared a summary of the conversations, including the questions raised, the commitments we have made, and some of the details that are still taking shape.

We are grateful to everyone who participated, and invite you to continue the conversation.

Thanksgiving invites us to pay attention to what has been given to us.

This year, we are grateful for the students who bring their questions, experience, curiosity, and calling into our classrooms. We are grateful for faculty and staff who give themselves to the work of teaching, learning, and formation.

We are grateful for the churches, communities, alumni, friends, and partners who continue to make theological education a shared work.

And we are grateful for the conversations that stretch us, the relationships that sustain us, and the opportunity to keep learning what faithful Christian leadership looks like in a changing world.

From all of us at the Saskatoon Theological Union, Happy Thanksgiving.

We are excited to tell you about a new book from Rev. Dr. Gordon Jensen, Emeritus William Hordern Professor of Theology at Lutheran Theological Seminary.

In The Call to Discipleship: Baptism, Vocation, and the Community, Dr. Jensen takes up a question that has sometimes met with mixed reviews among Lutherans: What place does discipleship have in a theology centred on grace?

Jensen returns to baptism. He argues that baptism calls us into a lifelong vocation of discipleship, not as a way of earning God’s favour, but as a response to God’s grace and the work of the Spirit in our lives.

And that vocation belongs to the whole baptized community, not only to professional clergy. It takes shape in our homes, churches and communities, forming us inwardly while also calling us to participate in the transformation of the world.

Published by Cascade Books in July 2026, The Call to Discipleship is Dr. Jensen’s third book.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Today, we join people across Canada in marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We remember the children who were taken from their families and communities through the residential school system, those who never returned home, and the survivors, families, and communities who continue to live with its consequences.

For Christian institutions, this day also requires honesty about the role churches played in colonization and residential schools.

Truth and reconciliation are not things we complete by observing a single day. They ask us to listen, to learn, to examine the stories and assumptions we have inherited, and to allow Indigenous voices, communities, and ways of knowing to change how we understand our shared life.

At St. Andrew’s College and Lutheran Theological Seminary, that work belongs within theological education itself. We remain committed to learning from Indigenous teachers, leaders, communities, and the land, and to preparing people for ministry with a deeper understanding of the histories and relationships that shape this place.

September 30 is a day to remember.

And to keep listening.

LTS invites everyone interested in the future of Lutheran theological education in Western Canada to join us for conversation this fall.

President William Harrison and others will speak briefly about the Lutheran commitments we intend to carry forward, the possibilities emerging through the new institution with St. Andrew’s College, and why we believe this change offers the strongest way forward.
There will be substantial time for conversation throughout the session. We hope you will come, bring your questions, and join us in thinking deeply about the future of Lutheran theological education in Western Canada.

Two online sessions will be offered:
Tuesday, October 6 — 7:00 p.m. Saskatchewan time
Friday, October 9 — 10:00 a.m. Saskatchewan time

The same conversation will be offered at both sessions; please choose whichever time works best for you.
Space is limited, and advance registration is required.

Want to go an alternative route for your next paper?

Most university libraries are built to help you explore a subject through the usual academic disciplines. At the Saskatoon Theological Union library, you can take another route into the questions you’re working on.

What does theology have to say about history, justice, politics, literature, health, education, culture, the environment, or what it means to be human?

Our collection is built around those kinds of questions. And our library staff know how to help you find theological resources and bring a theological lens to the work you’re already doing.

You’ll also find a quiet, comfortable place to read and study, at 1121 College Drive.

Sometimes the alternate route takes you somewhere the usual one doesn’t.

Rev. Dr. Kyle Schiefelbein-Guerrero recently published “The Future of Online Worship” in the July 2026 issue of Worship, an international peer-reviewed journal focused on liturgy and liturgical renewal.

The article considers what online worship means for the church, including the growing presence of AI and other emerging technologies.

As Dr. KSG writes:

“In fourth-century pre-Christendom, Bishop Martin [of Tours] (after whom an important sixteenth-century Martin is named) understood that the church must go to where the people are; the twenty-first-century post-Christendom church must also do that, which includes the online spaces where (for good or for ill) people gather” (240).

Online worship and technology remain part of Dr. KSG’s teaching and research during his current sabbatical.
