Formation of a Pastor: Classroom to Church
By Jonathon J. Bakker Fourth-Year Seminarian, Concordia Theological Seminary
It is no coincidence that the things that make Lutherans Lutheran are the things that Lutheran seminarians learn most in seminary: Jesus Christ as the center of the Scriptures and theology; the proper distinction of Law and Gospel; and the centrality of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection to name a few. |
Serving While Learning
By John C. Bestul Fourth-Year Seminarian, Concordia Theological Seminary
As the church prays that our Lord would send men into His vineyard, may it also pray that through congregations and pastors He provides those men opportunities to serve. For it might be said that the seminarian serves while he learns in order that he might best learn how to serve. |
