Welcome to Beyond the River Academy


The Academy is dedicated to the cause of enabling men and women for the ministry of Jesus Christ. We recognize the need of pastoral leadership, especially in the rural communities across our country and the duty of our churches to provide the means of grace in the traditions of our Lutheran heritage. There are many who hear the call of ministry and are being called after full careers. The Academy’s academic program is designed to provide the tools needed to fulfill the call to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament Ministry.
