DELTO Program Prepares Cordova Resident for Ministry
Four years ago, Mr. Steve Schneider enrolled in a program of study offered through Concordia Seminary in St Louis, MO. Unlike traditional seminary students, Mr. Schneider was a long distance student, living in Cordova and serving as interim minister at Grace Celebration Lutheran Church, while completing his studies. This special program, known as Distance Education Leading to Ordination (DELTO), provides off-campus education to seminary students. Grace Celebration was without a pastor when Mr. Schneider (a full-time staff member) was selected for this special program. In compliance with strict criteria for admission, Mr. Schneider was expected to serve the congregation on a full-time basis while completing his studies, and expected to continue to serve the church after completion. Schneider went through an intensive screening process and was recommended for the program by the District President of the MidSouth Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), along with the approval and support of his congregation. Schneider was assigned to an Ordained Lutheran Pastor, to serve as his mentor throughout the program, providing feedback and counsel to Schneider and to the seminary on a regular basis.
Mr. Schneider was Ordained and Installed as Pastor of Grace Celebration Lutheran Church, 8601 Trinity Road, Cordova, TN on Sunday afternoon, June 28, 2009 at 4:00 pm.
