Students Prepare for a Future in Ministry

Youth ministry graphic web 2

Christian ministry often conjures images of a pastor leading a congregation and delivering Sunday sermons. While working at the church is one facet of ministry, more options exist. For example, a master’s degree in Christian Ministry from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (LTSS) prepares graduates to share the gospel in whatever context God calls them to and to engage in relationships for the sake of Christ.

Through the skills and education obtained at LTSS, three students are preparing for a purposeful ministry in different fields.

Answering the call to serve

Lynette Jamison

While some seminary students begin their journey directly after college, many realize their calling after spending years in unrelated fields. No career path or calling is the same, and seminary student Lynette McSpadden is a prime example. A lifelong Lutheran, McSpadden believes her unique experiences have prepared her for ministry as she pursues a master’s degree in Christian ministry.
