A Message from Phil Misner on Leadership Development

What I want to communicate at this point is that Cal Lutheran, PLTS, and leaders across Regions 1 & 2 are committed to finding ways to promote leadership development for pastors, deacons, and lay people (and that is also the case for the other ELCA universities and seminaries). Further, there is great interest—and need—to strengthen collaboration between these institutions of learning and ministry sites across the country. We all have much to teach to each other, and much to learn from each other.

ELCA Fund for Leaders

Each year the Fund for Leaders provides approximately 40 full-tuition scholarships to future ELCA pastors and deacons who attend ELCA seminaries. In spring 2023, the Fund for Leaders will once again offer scholarships to seminary students — and we need your help to spread the word!

The application window for full-tuition scholarships will be open from Nov. 15, 2022, to Feb. 25, 2023.
