Campaign Planning and Counsel for Concordia Theological Seminary
CTSFW has been providing pastors to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) for 180 years. Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, CTSFW provides approximately 45% of all LCMS pastors in the U.S. It also educates women to become deaconesses in Lutheran congregations across the U.S. CTSFW is uniquely committed to confessional Lutheranism and to the residential formation of pastors and deaconesses.
Fissinger Fundraising partnered with CTSFW to conduct a campaign planning study (CPS), examining the feasibility of a comprehensive campaign to provide significant updates to the CTSFW campus, to enhance its endowment, and to provide ongoing annual operating support throughout the campaign. In early 2024, CTSFW voted to proceed with its campaign.
Fissinger Fundraising is now providing comprehensive campaign counsel to CTSFW. Peter Fissinger is working with the Board of Regents, with the President of CTSFW, with the internal campaign leadership team (CLT), and with the advancement team to execute the campaign.
