MLC Day 2025 – celebrating blessings!
Dear Friend,
Our gracious Lord has certainly blessed our church and school ministries through the work of MLC graduates serving as pastors, teachers, staff ministers, and lay leaders! That’s why Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minn., has adopted the theme “Celebrating Blessings” for this year’s MLC Day. We invite you today to join thousands of friends of MLC and WELS from across the globe in encouraging the work of our College of Ministry.
The three pillars of MLC Day are: pray to the Lord with thanks for our congregational servants and the students at MLC, share celebratory photos and videos online, and give in honor of their ministry and to support MLC.
- PRAY – Celebrate blessings at your churches and schools through prayers of thanks for the work of pastors, teachers, staff ministers, and ministry leaders. Post your prayers on MLC’s Pray Kudoboard.
- SHARE – Join friends of MLC in sharing photos and videos that express thankfulness for our Lord’s blessings. MLC’s campus family loves seeing your posts from family members, churches, elementary schools, and high schools on their Share Kudoboard! Follow MLC’s Facebook and Instagram for more photo and video-sharing ideas.
- GIVE – Contribute to MLC’s Congregational Partner Grant Program (CPGP) as a tribute to those who have blessed you through their public or private ministries. With your gifts, MLC hopes to add another $130,000 to the CPGP matching fund so that more students will receive financial assistance for their journey to the public ministry. Visit the MLC Day Give page for donation updates and a link to donate.
MLC will be posting photos and stories and updating progress reports on the MLC Facebook and Instagram pages. They will also have extensive Facebook Live posts of life at MLC! Have fun—and may God bless MLC to his glory!

Chairman, WELS Board for Ministerial Education
