Introducing TLU Sunday: Celebrating Our Shared Mission
On February 1, 2026, Texas Lutheran University (TLU) will launch TLU Sunday, a new initiative in partnership with the Bishops of the Synods of Texas and Louisiana. This special day celebrates the strong connection between TLU and our congregations as we work together to prepare faithful, educated leaders for the church and the world.
Building upon engagement programs such as Presidential Visits and TLU Takeovers, TLU Sunday will deepen relationships with congregations, alumni, and friends. The goals are to:
- Increase awareness of TLU among students, alumni, and church leaders.
- Share how TLU fulfills its mission in partnership with congregations.
- Invite support for the Lutheran Advantage Scholarship and Campus Ministry.
Participation is simple and optional. Congregations that opt in will receive in early January a TLU Sunday marketing packet with a short video, sample announcements, bulletin inserts, and social media content. Churches can share these materials during worship or in their own communications—and may also invite TLU students, alumni, or parents to offer a short testimonial.
To incentivize participation, one donor from each Synod has pledged $10,000 for TLU Sunday. Our goal is for each Synod to collectively raise another $10,000 across its congregations.
If your congregation would like to host a TLU Sunday, please identify a coordinator for your congregation then complete this form by December 19: TLU Sunday Contact Information – Fill out form
If you have questions regarding TLU Sunday, please reach out to the TLU Office of Development and Alumni Relations at development@tlu.edu.
