Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3

On MLC Day 2025, we will celebrate the blessings God has gifted to our WELS ministries through all who faithfully share his Word with those around them.

On May 7, we encourage you to . . .

• PRAY – Celebrate blessings through prayers of thanks for the work of pastors, teachers, staff ministers, and the many faithful people who share Jesus with others.
• SHARE – Join friends of MLC around the globe by sharing photos and videos that express gratitude for our Lord’s blessings. We especially invite everyone to post short selfie shout-out videos. Watch MLC’s Facebook and Instagram for video-sharing details.
• GIVE – Give to our Congregational Partner Grant Program, a grant-matching program for MLC students, as a tribute to those who have blessed you through their public or private ministry.

With your gifts, we hope to raise $130,000 for the Congregational Partner Grant Program, enabling more students to receive financial assistance on their journey to public ministry.

If you are in the area on July 1, join us at Old Main as we celebrate "Step by Step: Building Memories and Ministries."

At 4:00 pm, we will gather at the Old Main entrance for a brief ceremony to mark the start of the Old Main entrance project. We will use sledgehammers instead of shovels at this fun event!

If you'd like to take a swing at the steps, we'll have some extra sledgehammers available!

After the ceremony, you can tour Old Main and enjoy cookies and lemonade.

We are planning a special time capsule for this project. Attendees can add their prayers and hopes for all students using the new entrance.

Our Newly Knighted board, which represents new students for the 2025-2026 school year, is full. But our halls are not!

We're seeking more young people interested in learning about MLC and the gospel ministry. Who can you encourage today?

We have resources available to help you!
