Introducing Luther Seminary Residency Program

Posted on

In response to requests from the broader ELCA community, Seminary Relations, Academic Affairs, and Faith+Lead are excited to announce a new experiment designed to fill a gap for those exploring ministry but who may not be ready for seminary. This two-year residency program partners with organizations like churches, camps, and campus ministries to provide mentoring, curriculum, and a cohort to those without seminary degrees who are entering paid ministry in these organizations. The residency combines practical ministry experience with spiritual formation and targeted education through Faith+Lead Academy coursework in the first year, with a strong recommendation for residents to begin a graduate certificate in their second year. We currently have two confirmed organizational partners and are delighted that Kurty Darling has agreed to direct this donor-funded initiative with a cohort starting this fall. If you’d like to know more, contact Elizabeth Schoenknecht, Terri Elton, or Susan Brooks.
