Teaching Congregations

Teaching Congregations is a component in M.Div. training to become an ordained pastoral leader in the church. The graduation requirement for all M.Div. students is four semesters. Whether you are planning to be ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America or another denomination, Teaching Congregations is required for the M.Div. degree from Luther Seminary.

You will be asked to involve yourself in the life of a specific congregation. How you are involved will depend upon the intersection between your gifts and talents and the congregation's needs. You'll participate in congregational life with the mentoring guidance of the congregation's pastor. Your congregation will also provide the context for connecting coursework.
