Welcome!

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Luther Seminary and its mission, while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate, save on taxes, receive income for life, or enjoy other financial benefits – all the while knowing that you have made a wonderful gift to Luther Seminary.


We recommend that you familiarize yourself with various gift options by exploring How to Give and What to Give tabs or download or request for free The Guide to Estate Planning or The Guide to Gift Planning. These resources will give you a basic understanding of gift planning and allow you to compare options that are best for you. And, of course, please contact us for assistance or to discuss your personal situation and goals.

Helping educate pastors for Christian communities

Helping educate pastors for Christian communities

Marlys and Robert Melius are committed to helping to form great leaders for Christian communities, so committed that they will fund an endowed scholarship at Luther Seminary through their estate plan.

Members of Christ the King Lutheran Church in New Brighton, Minn., Marlys and Robert are active as leaders and as volunteers in ministries near and far, including work in Tanzania. They know the importance of a community of faith. They have been blessed by pastors who lead, inspire and encourage church members' growth in love and spirit. The scholarship is a way to carry their commitment beyond their own lifetimes.
