First Call Theological Education

First Call Theological Education (FCTE) is a three-year structured program of theological education designed to assist newly called leaders in the transition to rostered ministry. One of the most dramatic transitions in the life of a newly rostered person is the transition from seminary or non-rostered status to the first call to public ministry. For that reason, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has prescribed standards and expectations for continuing theological education during the first three years of rostered service under Call. more
