The Center for Theology & Land is no longer hosting CTL Residencies.  Rather, students interested in studying on-campus can join TEEM candidates at various TEEM Intensives taking place for a week (Monday-Friday) in June and July and a weekend in October.   

Contact the Director of the WTS TEEM Program and Adjunct Professor for Distributed Education, Dr. Kristine Stache, for more information on TEEM Intensives.  Kris can be reached at teem@wartburgseminary.edu
