| "It is not asked of the people of the cross that they cease to put their trust
in the triumph of the Crucified. What is asked is that they let the Crucified and not the
bourgeois culture with which they are identified define his triumph." |

Throughout its history, Lakeland College has been intentional about maintaining a close
relationship with its founding church, now the United Church of Christ. Over the years,
the College has attempted to do this by providing educational services to its church
constituency in a number of innovative ways. Most recent among these have been the
establishment of the Mission House Center and the creation of an M.A. program in Christian
Theology. The Mission House Center is an ecumenical program center providing broadly based
opportunities for continuing education, study, and reflection for clergy and laity.
Programs of The Mission House Center include:
- Lecture Series
- Biannual theological consultations between the Wisconsin Conference of the United Church
of Christ and the Evangelical Church of Westphalia in Germany
- Theological colloquies on contemporary issues
- Workshops for church musicians conducted by theology and music faculty
- The M.A. in Theology program, leading to an accredited 36-hour degree
- Clergy in Residence Program available to pastors of the UCC and its partner churches
