Wednesday marked the beginning of another exciting academic year at CLTS. It is shaping up to be a fantastic year, with nine students starting their studies, including four for the pastoral ministry, three for the MTS program, and two in pre-seminary studies. Along with returning students, the enrolment for the coming year is at 23, with two additional students auditing courses. Dr. Winger commented about this saying “It has been many years since we had such a robust student body and every one of the students is exceptionally well qualified.”

Once again, students from all over the world, including Australia, South Korea, China, Brazil, and Turkey, are joining us. We are also delighted to welcome students from Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba. Tim Bayha, who just arrived from Australia, was impressed with the warm welcome he received. In his own words, “The people have been lovely.” As he embarks on this new adventure, he expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “I am really looking forward to studying under well-equipped and faithful teachers who will provide a rigorous formational life.”

You are cordially invited to join us in expressing gratitude to God for his abundant blessings at our upcoming opening service on Sunday, September 22 at 4:00 p.m. at Martin Luther Chapel.
