Aaron is in his second year at Concordia Theo.Seminary, Fort Wayne. A member of Grace and a graduate of Grove City College, he is pursuing coursework leading to a divinity degree and parish ministry. During last year he and his wife Diana lived in Baltimore where she completed a deaconess internship. Coursework for both Aaron and Diana began again this summer. They are also parents of a son, Simon Peter, who was baptized Easter Sunday.

Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne

Concordia Theological Seminary (CTS), Fort Wayne, is our seminary. Along with Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, our church body, The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod is dedicated to teaching the Word of God faithfully and bringing the life-giving message of Jesus Christ to the world. For 168 years CTS has been preparing men for the holy ministry, and more recently in preparing women to serve as deaconesses.

The venture of a Sem Ride 2014 is for the purpose of encouraging support for one of those men from our home congregation, Aaron Yaeger. Learn more about Concordia Theological Seminary at www.ctsfw.edu
