The Certificate of Lutheran Studies

Designed to enhance the faith and knowledge of lay leaders

This program is a non-credit, non-degree program of Trinity School of Ministry and the North American Lutheran Seminary. It consists of six online courses in the theological disciplines delivered entirely online.

Typically, a student registered in the CLS program is a lay leader in an NALC house church or an established congregation. CLS courses are intended to enhance the faith and knowledge of the NALC laity in order to strengthen the mission of local congregations. CLS students are encouraged to seek out local pastors for mentorship and support.
