Supervised ministry for ELCA Word and Service candidates. Student interns practice a broad range of skills necessary for diaconal ministry, integrating their academic learning with practical experience in the formation of their own identity as deacon. Internships may include non-congregational settings, depending on the candidate’s areas of specialization. Internship is an ecclesiastical requirement of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) for candidates for ordained ministry. As such, the seminary administers the internship program for its ELCA students on behalf of the ELCA, and in partnership with the ELCA, the various Candidacy Committees of our ELCA students, and the congregations and other agencies which serve as teaching sites for the interns. Part-time interns may repeat this course to fulfill the Word and Service internship requirements as stipulated by the ELCA Candidacy Manual.
