Staff members from Gettysburg Seminary recently took a trip to the Lutheran Seminary at Philadelphia. Most have never visited the institution before, despite the two institutions being members of the Eastern Cluster of Lutheran Seminaries. The purpose of the trip was to tour the campus and to meet staff and faculty members.

Gettysburg staff members were warmly welcomed by Philadelphia. After receiving an informative tour of the campus by Chief Financial Officer, John Heidgerd, a Philly-style lunch was served featuring cheesesteaks, Italian hoagies, and pizza.


The Philadelphia Seminary's beautiful campus is located at 7301 Germantown Ave.
