Many individuals seeking to prepare for the pastoral office, be better trained lay leaders or acquire deeper theological understanding have, for some time now, hesitated to pursue their education through the seminaries presently in existence in the ELCA/ELCIC. The liberal drift that predominates these institutions has resulted in many would-be church leaders being hesitant to enroll. The new Institute "is an autonomous, multi-location and web-based, Lutheran theological educational organization committed to equipping current and future generations of pastors, lay leaders and professors to know and faithfully proclaim the true gospel of Jesus Christ, our Crucified and Risen Lord and identify the false gospels of the world."
