Being a Rostered Person
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) affirms the universal priesthood into which all of its members are baptized. For the sake of mission and ministry, this church calls some of its baptized members for specific rostered ministries in this church, namely the ordained ministry and three lay ministries (associates in ministry, deaconesses, and diaconal ministers). On behalf of the ELCA, synods have responsibilities related to the oversight and maintaining of the rosters of this church.
