Prayerfully Consider Visit Fall 2026

Prayerfully Consider Visit (PCV) is designed to give future pastors and deaconesses a firsthand look at the programs and community of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW). At this free event, you will have the following opportunities:

• attending classes
• talking with current students
• meeting the faculty
• spending time with your Admission counselor
• worshiping with the CTSFW community
• learning from staff who will help you transition to seminary life, including representatives from Financial Aid, housing, and the Food and Clothing Co-op
• touring the campus and Fort Wayne

During PCV, you will meet brothers and sisters in Christ who are also contemplating pastoral ministry or diaconal service. PCV offers you a vivid picture of what life at CTSFW would look like. It is a time to get answers to your questions and to find encouragement from those who have already begun seminary. We invite you to join us for this informative and impactful weekend.

May the Lord bless you and keep you as you prayerfully consider pastoral ministry or diaconal service!

LODGING NOTE: On-campus housing in CTSFW guest dormitories is complimentary for PCV attendees and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are made through the event registration. Guests are also welcome to stay off-campus at their own cost.
