Pastoral Ministry Certification
How are they to hear without someone to proclaim him?
Every week, around the globe, preachers step into
pulpits to proclaim God’s Word to his people. While the
Spirit raises up pastors in many and various ways, sound
theological education is vital to faithful preaching. The
Pastoral Preparation Program is designed to quickly
prepare those with little or no prior theological training to
faithfully and thoughtfully serve in the pastoral office.
The program is divided into Basic and Advanced
Courses. The three Basic Courses lay a solid
foundation in the Lutheran tradition. These three
courses are designed to enable a candidate to begin a
regular preaching and teaching ministry in a
congregation. The remaining nine courses are to be
completed at the rate of three courses per term for the
next three terms. These advanced courses add depth to
pastoral service and preaching through the study of
church history, Biblical theology, systematic theology,
and ministry practices. The Advanced Courses are
followed by a final oral examination.
AMC
Associate in Ministry Certification
The Associate in Ministry Certification Program is
designed to provide instruction in basic Christian
theological understandings. It is comprised of seven
semester long core courses covering theology, church
history, and Bible. This program is best suited for
congregational staff and lay volunteers. It can also be
used as ministry preparation for short term missionaries
or anyone that wants to be better equipped in the basic
teachings about the Bible, the history of the Christian
church, and Christian theology.
WAW
Word at Work Series
The Word at Work Series presents general interest
courses in theology designed for lay people. These
courses seek to engage learners in vital matters of
Christian life from a theological perspective. In the
Christian Life Series learners will study the Bible,
connect with the Lutheran confessions, and theologically
confront the issues facing Christians today. This series
will also cover many areas of Christian practice such as
prayer, worship, witness, the Christian family, and
mission.
This program requires no application.
Haec est quam fecit dominus! Amen.
