ELCA Candidacy
The Office for Candidacy and Placement is poised to help students
navigate the ELCA candidacy process and provide updated information as the
student progresses through the candidacy process. For a complete
overview
of the candidacy process please refer to the ELCA website.
While Luther Seminary has a distinctly Lutheran approach to its
commitment to educate leaders, lay and clergy, for Christian communities,
this seminary is committed to broadening ecumenical diversity within the
community.

“Candidacy in the ELCA is the churchwide
process of preparation and formation leading to the ordained
ministry of Word and Sacrament, the consecrated ministry of diaconal
minister or deaconess, or the commissioned ministry of associate in
ministry. Candidacy involves a significant partnership that
engages the candidate, congregation, synod, seminary and the
Division for Ministry in guidance, evaluation, theological
education and practical preparation.”
Called by God: Responding With a Life of Service, Division for
Ministry, ELCA.
