Candidacy in the Nebraska Synod, ELCA

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. Interested individuals are encouraged to begin the process at least one year prior to planned study. Learn more about Candidacy in the ELCA (and download forms) at: http://www.elca.org/candidacy/
