FIRST CALL THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION by EXTENSION

One of the most dramatic transitions in the life of a newly rostered person is the transition from seminary or non-rostered status to the first call to public ministry. For that reason, the ALTS has developed standards and expectations for continuing theological education during the first three years of rostered service.

Theological education doesn't end with graduation from our seminaries. Rather, theological education is a process of lifelong learning.

The church requires faithful leaders with abundant gifts and special qualities such as: (a) depth of theological understanding, (b) pastoral care, (c) competence to communicate across cultures, (d) capacity to reach out to un-churched people, (e) ability to make connections between faith and everyday life.

First Call Theological Education by Extension (FCTEE) is a three-year structured program of theological and pastoral education designed to assist newly called leaders in the transition to rostered ministry.
