Walther Society
Preparing Servants
Walther Society members bless God’s church with gifts that help support the Seminary’s work to prepare students to serve church and world.
Membership in the Walther Society
The Walther Society honors the Seminary’s most faithful donors and recognizes the annual stewardship commitment by these supporters.
The Society is the cornerstone of annual giving to the Seminary. Donors making annual, cumulative unrestricted gifts of $1,000 or more join together through the Walther Society in support of the mission of the Seminary.
Your financial gift supports the ongoing operational needs of the Seminary. Your gifts also provide resources for the recruitment and preparation of students who will be our future church leaders — those who will shepherd us, our loved ones and our descendants for generations to come on our heavenly journey.
About C.F.W. Walther
The Walther Society is named after Dr. C.F.W. Walther, a towering figure of 19th-century Lutheranism. His knowledge of and unwavering commitment to the Lutheran confessions and the theology of Martin Luther provide a firm foundation for the growth and development of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis and The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). Walther served as the first president of the Seminary and the LCMS.
“The Gospel does not say, ‘You must do good works.’ Rather it fashions us into human beings, into creatures who cannot help but serve God and fellow human beings. Without a doubt, a precious effect.”
-Dr. C.F.W. Walther

“Thank you, Walther Society, for your love for the students of Concordia Seminary. Because you are generously supporting us through your prayers and gifts, seminarians like me are able to say, ‘Here am I! Send me.’ Together, we are joyfully taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth.”
-William Fredstrom, M.Div. student
