Admission Requirements
All students at the Missionary Institute must be active Lutheran Christians, of a humble heart and attitude of service, dedicated to prayer and the Word, of good moral character, and committed to serving God and His church. In addition, students must have good study habits, particularly if they wish to follow the intensive program of the Rapid Track.
To enroll in one of the three programs, you must:
1. Be a member of the Lutheran Church for at least 2 years.
2. Be an active member of your local congregation.
3. Read, speak, and write Spanish.
4. Have a high school diploma (or equivalent).
5. Fill out an Enrollment Form.
6. Present a letter of recommendation from the pastor of your congregation.
7. Be approved by the Director of the Missionary Institute. Normally, the applicant (and spouse, if married) must arrange a personal interview with the Director or his representative.
Exceptions to the above requirements may be made for persons who wish to study certain courses for their own personal growth or to complement their theological studies at some other institution. Such students will not be formally placed as evangelists, deacons, or deaconesses in LCMS districts; rather, they will continue to serve as lay leaders of their own local congregations.
