Training     

The training toward priesthood is a three-year program. Two years of course work are followed in the third year by internships in congregations, hospitals and social institutions, here or abroad. The final semester prepares candidates for ordination.

 

  Acceptance into each semester is based on conversation and evaluation of the student together with the seminary leadership. There is no grading system, but after each semester both the student and the seminary leadership decide whether the student should continue with the training. Study at the seminary is no guarantee of acceptance into the ordination semester. 

 

We especially welcome young people. Enrolling at the seminary does not require years of life experience or advanced maturity. Studies may lead young people through ordination into the calling of priesthood, or may help them on their way to another important task in life.
