Call Process

The calling of a pastor represents a valuable partnership between God, the congregation, the synod, and the ELCA.  Each member of the partnership is enriched when the call process results in a good match between pastor and congregation.  The total mission of the church is furthered when each member of the partnership is honored, respected, and fulfills its appropriate role in the process.
