The cost of each three-day summer workshop is $140 (unless otherwise noted), which includes Continuing Education (CEU) credits. Registration and payment should be made no later than 14 days prior to the beginning of each workshop, and workshops must have a minimum of 15 participants in order to be held.

Upcoming CTSFW continuing-education workshops cover such topics as “Leading Ladies of the New Testament,” “Scripture and Sacramentality,” “Luther’s Antinomian Disputations,” “Hermann Sasse as Pastoral Theologian,” “Apologetics in the 21st Century” and various classes on books of the Bible.

Credits for CTSFW summer workshops range from 1.5 to 3 CEUs, with cost dependent on the number of credits and the type of student (pastor, retired pastor or layperson).
