Board of Theology & Ministry
While the members of the other five Boards are
appointed by the District Council, the members
of the BTM are elected by the District
Convention. The rationale for this is that this
Board has been given theological and
professional oversight of Augustana’s pastors.
BTM is charged with administering LCMC’s
pastoral certification process and the District’s
endorsement process. These steps are designed
to examine the qualifications of pastors wishing
entry into the Augustana District. Once pastors
are admitted into the District, BTM is
responsible for enforcing the Ministry Standards
of the District. Additionally, it is to sponsor an
annual theological conference required for all its
pastors and open to any lay participants. As
BTM’s primary mission is “to preserve and
promote the District’s theological and
confessional commitments,” it also will
interface with the Board of Theological
Education and the Board of Publications.
If you are interested in serving on this board, please contact
Mark Richardson (715-417-1317 or mjrichardson@augustanadistrict.org).
