Rosie Bartels is the Catholic educator from the Green Bay diocese featured in January's WELS Connection. Listen to her full interview and get her take on our Lutheran school system.

A journey rather than a destination, the process of accreditation helps Lutheran elementary schools chart a course, stay on the path, and move toward a goal.

The four-school ministerial education system serves as an integral ministry of WELS, centered on the one gospel of Jesus Christ, existing for the one purpose of preparing well-trained servants for the church.

Like a relay team, our four synodical schools work together to develop pastors, teachers, and leaders.

Rev. Paul Prange, administrator of Ministerial Education: Rev. Paul Wendland, president of Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary; Rev. Mark Zarling, president of Martin Luther College; and Rev. Matthew Crass, president of Luther Preparatory School, present an overview of Ministerial Education to the 60th Biennial Convention.
