FLS trains men who perceive God’s call to service in a local congregation, the mission field, or other areas of pastoral ministry. About FLS Since 1964, FLS has been preparing servant pastors for free and living Lutheran congregations. FLS offers a Master of Divinity (M.Div) degree in a three-year classroom format and one-year internship. Seminary training at FLS includes three years of classroom instruction on a beautiful campus in suburban Minneapolis. The fourth year includes a one-year congregation-based internship in a Free Lutheran congregation, with an experienced AFLC pastor as supervisor. If God is leading you to explore full time pastoral ministry or to simply prepare for whatever ministry lies ahead, we hope this website provides clarity and answers to what your next step could look like. Student Life Community life at FLS is Christ-centered and oriented around learning and fellowship. As students study the Bible and theology together, relationships grow. Spiritual life is a priority among the student body. Each morning begins with a student-led devotional and prayer time. Chapel is a highlight during the week as students and families gather for worship and preaching of God’s Word. Frequent campfires in the summer provide a way for students to stay connected through life’s ups and downs. The campus playground becomes a gathering spot for parents of small children to catch up on life. Housing On-campus housing provides students and families a supportive community and the convenience of a short walk to classes. Campus housing is based on availability, given the limited number of apartments. Applications for housing are considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Three beautiful housing buildings with townhouse-style apartments are located directly across from the seminary classroom building. Most apartments have two bedrooms plus an office/3rd bedroom with laundry facilities in each apartment. Apartments come equipped with appliances, window coverings, wireless internet, phone service, and central air conditioning.
