Focus on the Ministry

Our pastor/teacher training institution, Martin Luther College (MLC), is located in New Ulm, MN.  High schoolers from all over the country visit the campus for special “Focus on the Ministry” weekends – designed to give younger students a taste of what it is like training for the public ministry.

This year we are taking a few students to MLC on the weekend of October 11-13.  This is what they’ll be able to experience from MLC’s website:

Focus on Ministry Weekend is designed to give you a glimpse of what being a pastor, teacher, or staff minister is all about. You will also see what it is like to study for the public ministry. We’re sure that this weekend will help you in your decision of whether to try studying for the public ministry of the gospel. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what you hear.

You’ll be able to experience campus life firsthand during your stay from Thursday night to Saturday morning. In the dorms and student center you will meet students who, just a few years ago, were facing the same questions and choices you are today. You’ll also meet professors, pastors, teachers, and staff ministers who want to help you in considering studying for public ministry.
