Introduction to Candidacy in the ELCA
Have you just been entranced in the ELCA recently or are starting seminary and trying to navigate how it all works together? Good news, you don’t have to figure it out by yourself! Please join Ashley Wheeler, Associate Director of Candidacy and Vocational Formation, and Krista Anderson, Region 3 Candidacy and Leadership Manager and Program Director for the Support of Ministers of Word and Service, for an information session on Candidacy. We will have two different sessions (one in person and one online) on Wednesday, September 28th. You can RSVP here.

You’re Invited: Campaign Celebration Reception
You are invited to attend a gathering of faculty, staff, students, and supporters of the Seminary on October 6 to celebrate the successful close of the Listen! God is Calling campaign. We have exceeded the fundraising goal for the Listen! God is Calling campaign, for the future of the church. More than 15,000 faithful investors have given over $98 million, since July 1, 2016.
This celebration is a thank you to the entire community for the success of the campaign. We would not have exceeded the campaign goal without your involvement!
If you’re in the area and able to join us, we’d love to celebrate with you on October 6 in the Olson Campus Center, beginning at 4:30pm. We’ll have appetizers, beverages, and live music from Rolf Jacobson’s band, the Fleshpots of Egypt.
