LTCA sponsors a variety of educational opportunities for both clergy and laity: Lectures, Short Courses, Retreats, Workshops, Conferences -- all aimed at strengthening leadership in the church. LTCA students are able to participate in these programs and to meet the pastors and people of the Atlanta area Lutheran congregations. Faculty members from ELCA seminaries, pastors from Lutheran congregations, and Lutheran scholars from other institutions are also invited to visit the Center, get to know the Atlanta seminarians, and make use of the theological libraries and resources.
