Pastoral Education – January 2016

To bring some structure, organization and encouragement to continuing education for our pastors, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in convention passed Resolution 5-08B “To Establish a Standard for Continuing Education of Pastors.”

This ultimately resulted in a task force made up of seminary faculty and members of the Council of Presidents who would, among other things, “work collaboratively … to develop a list of qualified continuing education resources and activities.”

Starting in 2016, every pastor in the LCMS will have an opportunity to begin work on his continuing education portfolio toward participating in qualified continuing education experiences that will enhance his service to the church.
