The ELCA and Education
Have faith in your future
Martin Luther's Singing School in the House; and the Introduction of the German Hymn.
Martin Luther once asked, “What do we older folks live for if not for the care of the young, to teach and train them?” The importance he placed on education has remained a hallmark of the Lutheran church for centuries, and is truly part of our calling. Today, the ELCA carries out its education initiative through over 2,000 early education centers, primary and high schools and 28 colleges and universities across the country.
