Faithfulness
Responding to the gift of faith, we equip public leaders to think and act as a reflection of God’s loving presence.
With the whole church, we participate in God’s ongoing mission to love and bless the world.
Attentive to God’s call to love our neighbour, we affirm each person as gift and strive to embody diversity.
Grounded in the covenant of baptism, we pursue excellence in scholarship through critical reflection, faithful inquiry, and lifelong learning to prepare leaders for a changing church and society.
Faithful to biblical witness and to Lutheran confessional heritage, we challenge ourselves and others to courageously share the promise of God’s unconditional grace.
We welcome people from both Lutheran and non-Lutheran traditions. LTS is an inclusive community and offers hospitality to all who participate in our programs of study.

The Indigenous and Intercultural Relations course seeks to build an understanding of Canada’s Indigenous peoples’ worldviews, history, and culture. Onsite classes, workshops, and visits to local Indigenous sites teach about wakohtowin, the relationships understood by Indigenous people regarding humans, land, and spirituality. Students learn about experiences in Canada’s Indian Residential Schools. They learn about colonialism, treaty and the inherent rights of Indigenous peoples. (THIS IS THE WRONG TEXT)
