Walther Theological Seminary is an institution of theological higher education in Decatur, Illinois, United States, that provides preparation of pastors for the congregations and missions of the United Lutheran Mission Association (ULMA) and other confessional Lutheran churches.
The seminary offers two master's degrees, one for the training of clergy (M.Div.)[1] and the other for lay people (M.A.).[2] The seminary's practice and policy is to ordain only men for the ministry, in accordance with the historic biblical Lutheran view on the role of women.[3] The M.A. degree program has no restrictions.[4]
All instructors are active clergy who serve working congregations or missions. As of October, 2012, the faculty collectively averaged 27 years in the ministry.[5]
The seminary has operated under a Certificate of Approval and Authorization issued by the Illinois Board of Higher Education in the Prairie Region of the state of Illinois since August 7, 2012.[6][7]
Seminary students have library borrowing privileges at the on-campus Luther Library, as well as at Millikin University.[8]
