CHS (at CSL)

CTSFW is joining in partnership with
Concordia—New York and the Atlantic,
New Jersey, and New England
districts of the LCMS to offer Bilingual
Pastoral Formation for Latinos
(BPFL), a special track within the
SMP program at CTSFW. The typical
student will be a Latino selected
by one of the districts that are
participating in the program and must
receive a recommendation from their
parish pastor. Upon completion of the
program, graduates will serve as SMP
pastors in the districts that supported
them in the program. Courses are
taught in the same manner as other
SMP courses. Graduates of the
BPFL will be ordained and placed on
the roster of the Synod as specific
ministry pastors because this is not
a separate program but a track now
folded into the SMP effort at Fort
Wayne.

Not known

Specific ministry pastor—always
