ELCA Regions

Regional and Synod staff: Regional Coordinators and synod staff have much contact with prospective students, particularly through the ELCA candidacy process. We will look to support their efforts and increase these connections. In particular, Discernment Advocates will serve as liaisons to Synod Youth Ministry Coordinators, with an emphasis on having a presence at synodical youth events.
