Each ELCA Deacon or Deaconess completes a course of study and receives a degree from an ELCA seminary. They may serve in congregations, hospitals, schools, or other ministries.
Synod Deacon Directory
Synodical deacons are rostered leaders who complete a course of study in the diakonia program, complete an internship, and are "set apart" at a ceremony in the spring.
Deans
Conference deans are pastors who serve as liaisons between the synod office and the congregations in their conference. They convene meetings of the conference pastors and lay leaders semi-annually, make visits to pastors new to their area, and attend meetings at the synod office regularly.
