Is There Demand for New Ordination Paths in the LCMS? with Ty Schommer

  • Resumen

  • Ever wonder how everyday believers can shape the future of their church without heading down the path of pastoral ordination? Meet Ty Schommer, a devoted deacon and co-vocational leader from Alaska, who shares his compelling journey within the Lutheran Church. Ty's story is a testament to the power of laity, revealing how congregations can cultivate spiritual growth and leadership among their members. Through his experiences at Zion Lutheran Church, Ty illustrates the importance of shared ministry and how confessional conservative Lutheranism's rich scriptural foundation has drawn him deeper into his faith. Discover how influential texts like Luther's "Freedom of a Christian" and "Bondage of the Will" have guided his understanding of faith and service.

    In our conversation, we explore innovative paths to ministry that cater to those pursuing their spiritual calling alongside professional careers. Ty discusses the transformative impact of accessible online theological education, such as the Institute for Lutheran Theology's MA program, and its role in addressing the growing demand for clergy in today's church. As younger generations gravitate toward authenticity, the need for new ordination pathways becomes more crucial. We also delve into the intricacies of Lutheran worship within the LCMS context, highlighting how theological hospitality and educational efforts can bridge the ever-widening gap between traditional liturgical practices and our increasingly secular culture. Join us to uncover fresh perspectives on ministry that honor the deep, resonant beauty of Lutheran liturgy.
