We in the Dakotas are looking for a few good people who are committed to the way of Christian love, willing to spend their lives in work whose only real reward is the kind of people they will be at the end of their lives, and gifted enough to lead our congregations into a new century of service to a broken world.

If you qualify, we will guide you thru the process of ordination, assist you with your formal education, and provide you with lifelong opportunities for education and spiritual companionship.
