Description
Concordia Seminary's major function is to prepare men for the holy ministry of Word and Sacraments in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. However, successful completion of the Seminary curriculum with conferral of the Master of Divinity degree does not guarantee eligibility for ordination or placement into the church's ministerium.Those graduating students endorsed by the faculty for the pastoral office are awarded the theological diploma in addition to the Master of Divinity degree and thereby become eligible for a call into the holy ministry (see 1995 Handbook of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, Bylaw 2.13 a, 1-2). Since The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod does not admit women to the pastoral office, none are enrolled in the Master of Divinity or the Doctor of Ministry programs. The Seminary also offers advanced degree programs to qualified students of theology and serves as a center for theological research, scholarship, and continuing education of the clergy.
