The roots of the Lutheran Brethren Seminary are found in the great spiritual revivals of the 1890’s, in the Northwestern Free Church Mission School, and in the founding of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren in 1900. The seminary is the training institution for those preparing for ministry in the Church of the Lutheran Brethren.
The library holds over 22,000 total print volumes with additional electronic access to eBooks and Journals. Additionally, it is home to the Archives of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. Brent Andrews is the librarian.
