The Heart of Our Community
Worship at the
center of Seminary Life
See our Chapel ›
Worship shapes the rhythm of each weekday and reaches beyond the time set aside for daily chapel. It is sacred space where students, faculty, and staff lead and are led — practicing worship as both calling and craft.
In this daily return to the center, we remember who and whose we are, and we are sent—again and again—into the world bearing the promise we have received.

Reimagining Rural & Small-Town Ministry
The CaSTLE Project
Equips Everyday Faith
The CaSTLE Project ›
The CaSTLE Project, a project focused on Country and Small Town Lived Ecclesiology, is a bold initiative of Wartburg Theological Seminary that partners with synods around the country to revitalize ministry and congregational leadership in rural and small-town contexts.
Supported by a $7.4 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., the project seeks to instantiate a new baptismal ecclesiology focused on the formation of Christian discipleship in daily life.
In this ecclesiology, the vibrancy of a congregation and the strength of its ministry are not measured by the number of members or defined by the ministry of an ordained pastor, but by the equipping of the people (through participation in the worship and spiritual life of their congregation) to witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ in all the roles and relationships of their personal and professional lives.
Leadership formation for rural and small-town congregations is a key piece of this ecclesiology.
