Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary was established in 1830 to educate faithful interpreters of Christ's Gospel as servant-leaders for God's mission in the world. The student body of around 200 is representative of all sections of the United States and also includes international students.

While it is a denominational seminary, there is a strong ecumenical character to the enrollment with approximately one-fourth of the students coming from denominations other than Lutheran. Southern Seminary seeks to be inclusive in its outreach, welcoming students of all traditions and cultures.

One of eight seminaries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the seminary partners with the Lutheran Theological Seminaries at Gettysburg and Philadelphia through the Eastern Cluster of Lutheran Seminaries to equip capable and committed women and men for the public ministries of the Church.
