ALS offers advanced theological education in the historic Lutheran tradition that treasures the Bible and the unconditional Gospel in obedience to Christ who said "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).
Jesus Christ instituted the public ministry of the church so that Christians might faithfully follow the Word of God through life and into eternity.
Jesus set an example for the church by training his disciples before sending them out to preach, teach, and administer the sacraments of baptism & the Lord’s Supper.
Instruction at ALS adheres to the historic confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church as set forth in the Book of Concord of 1580.
