Folkerts receives full-ride to Luther Seminary

Beth Folkerts, member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Hays, Kan. has recently been accepted into Luther Seminary at St. Paul, Minnesota. She is one of only eight students to receive a full-ride Presidential Scholarship.

Beth has considered ministry since she was in high school, but was not sure if that was where God was leading her. “I thought about it, and really struggled with it. It was toward the end of my first year here at Concordia that I really felt confident that it was what God wanted me to do,” she says.

Beth will start her classes at Luther Seminary this fall and will be studying to earn her Master of Divinity degree.
