Students engage in their studieswhile simultaneously working in a parish context under thedirection of a mentoring pastor and congregation. This methodprovides students with the opportunity to put their learningdirectly to work. The internship requirements of the program arebuilt into the curriculum, to be completed throughout the term ofenrollment.

Parish ServiceCertificate
In a variety of contexts, theHoly Spirit raises up leaders in congregations who have not gonethrough the traditional seminary program. In rural congregations, alocal farmer is called to preach when the pastor retires. In urbancenters, limited financial resources make the calling of a pastordifficult—so a committed volunteer steps into the void. Inimmigrant communities, the immediate need for preachers andteachers who speak the language of the people calls people intoservice without waiting for degree completion.
The Parish ServiceCertificate provides these faithful servants of the Wordwith the tools needed to engage in this work. A grounding inScripture and the Lutheran theological tradition, along with basicskills in preaching, teaching, evangelism, and pastoral care,provides the foundation for effective ministry in these specialcircumstances. The Parish Service Certificate isnot a shortcut to ordained ministry. Rather, it recognizes theever-changing needs of congregations and is designed to meet thoseneeds as efficiently as possible.
