Entrance into candidacy occurs through a synod candidacy committee which provides guidance and makes decisions on behalf of the ELCA. Any person seeking to become a candidate for rostered ministry in the ELCA should contact a synod office for application information. Forms are to be filled out and submitted only after contact with the synod [find your synod].

Congregational Mission Profile
An early step in calling a rostered leader is completing a Congregational Mission Profile, a document that describes your congregation's history, ministry, membership, community, and leadership needs. The form has a new look and is more explicitly focused on mission. The intent is to help a congregation to call the leader that can best serve the congregation as it lives out the Good News of God in its community. Hence, a Congregational Mission Profile is essential because of the role it plays in expressing who your congregation is now and what you want your ministry to look like in the future.
