Student Financial Aid & Recruitment
The Ohio District LCMS Student Financial Aid & Recruitment program provides financial assistance to those students who fit the following criteria:
- Student must be a member of an Ohio District LCMS congregation;
- Student who is enrolled at one of the LCMS seminaries or one of the colleges or universities of the Concordia University System;
- Student intends to enter into full-time church work (Pastor, Lutheran School Teacher, DCE, Deaconess, etc.).
A pastoral vacancy is often a difficult experience for the Congregation. It can also be a time of growth, as God's people step forward to keep ministries going and even increase their support. It is a great time for self-examination and goal setting.
This pastoral vacancy is also an opportune time for a Congregation to look at its strengths and weaknesses, ministry priorities, and vision for the future.
