I graduated from here!
My full time job (when not flying drone for fun) is being a Pastor in the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. I serve a church in Forest Lake, MN.
I attended and graduated from Concordia Seminary - St. Louis. I am very proud of the theological education I received at Concordia and am honored to be an alumni.
The campus also is absolutely stunning. The day I stopped here I was very short on time and I only flew the drone. It’s unfortunate. The campus is a photographers dream - but that’s for another trip. It does look like there was a recent storm and that many of the huge trees on campus had suffered. On the next trip I will make the time to explore the campus with a camera.
Founded in 1839 as "The Log Cabin College" in Perry County, Missouri, Concordia Seminary moved to South Jefferson Avenue in St. Louis in 1850. The institution relocated to its current 72-acre Clayton campus in 1926, which is known for its Gothic-style architecture, iconic Luther Tower, and Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus.
Also everyone at this point should know how I love a straight down shot.

Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus: Dedicated in 1992, this chapel serves as the center of campus worship.
The 1974 Walkout: A significant historical event where a majority of faculty and students left the campus during a theological dispute, later affecting the seminary and the history of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne.
A replica of the original 1839 log cabin was dedicated in 1938 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
