Project: CU0001-65002

The LCMS first established itself on the Isle of Pines, known today as the Isle of Youth, 31 miles south of the Cuban mainland, in 1911.

Current theological projects are aimed at shoring up and encouraging the existing pastorate while also seeking others who desire a theological education. A young man from Cuba graduated from Concordia the Reformer Seminary in 2023 and was ordained and installed at a congregation in Cuba. His wife, a deaconess graduate of our seminary, was installed in the same service. She is trained to do humanitarian outreach, which provides for our Cuban brothers and sisters in both body and soul and reflects Christ’s mercy to the groups of steadfast believers in Cuba and their surrounding communities.

Another Cuban student is enrolled in the seminary for the current academic year. We pray that these present and future church workers will provide a strong foundation for the re-emerging Lutheran Church in Cuba as they seek opportunities to strengthen the church in Cuba and provide for His people.
