Preparing Servant Pastors for Free and Living Congregations

Dr. James Molstre
Seminary Dean“The call to seminary is the call to prepare. The seminary serves the congregation; therefore, our preparation is uniquely designed to teach men to ‘shepherd the flock’” 1 Peter 5:2.
Program Overview
FLS offers a Master of Divinity (M.Div) degree in a three-year residential format. This is followed by a one-year internship in a Free Lutheran congregation, with an experienced AFLC pastor as supervisor.
