Seminary Satellite Description
This is an opportunity for brothers in the AZ-CA District of WELS (and others who want to attend) to grow together through classes offered by Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. In the odd years (e.g. 2025, 2027, 2029, etc. when Synod Convention is held) the Seminary offers satellite “Summer Quarter” events throughout our Synod. We thank Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, for hosting our satellite event. Questions about this Summer Quarter can be directed to Pastor Andy Mueller (email).
Seminary Satellite Agenda
Click HERE to access the Agenda. Classes begin on Monday, June 2, at 1:00pm and end on Wednesday, June 4, at 2:05pm. We have scheduled study time, worship, time for pastors to handle ministry responsibilities if necessary, and fellowship time in the evenings. Brothers are encouraged to join us from beginning to end!
Seminary Satellite Registration
Registration for the Seminary’s satellite courses can be found HERE. The courses offered are designed to give pastors various options for study and blessings: practical ministry tools, communication in the parish, and studying the Psalms.
Lodging & Travel
Pastors will make their own travel and lodging reservations. Note from host pastor: The Hyatt Place Las Vegas at Silverton Village is the best option in our area. It’s 10 minutes from Beautiful Savior and provides free parking, buffet breakfast, and great accommodations. The total cost per night with all taxes and fees is $179.67 (single occupancy – 1 king) or $190.97 (double occupancy – 2 queens). The rooms need to be booked by May 12. Click HERE to book or call (877) 504-1805 and mention our group: “WLS Summer Quarter.”
Notes & Costs
The Seminary has provided an excellent overview of Satellite events for 2025. Click HERE to read it. Pastors are welcome to take a course for credit (including assignments and readings outside of class) or you may audit the course (sit in for the material but without the work outside of class). Each course will only cost $200 if taken for credit and $100 if taken for audit, payable to Seminary. All retired pastors are welcome to audit any course free of charge.
Voluntary Gathering
There is no need to excuse yourself from this gathering, as this is a voluntary offering for pastoral growth. We pray many pastors can take advantage of this time together. If you have any input to share (as this is the first time we’ve offered anything like this apart from another regular conference), feel free to contact the host, Pastor Andy Mueller (email).
