Call Day 2025

Missouri District celebrates 2025 Call Day services
Seminary students receive ministry placements, assignments

The Missouri District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) joined with congregations and church workers across the Synod in celebrating Call Day 2025, a significant milestone in the lives of future pastors and deaconesses.

Each spring, the two LCMS seminaries—Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind., and Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo.—host special services where students receive their first pastoral or diaconal calls into ministry, as well as vicarage or internship assignments for their year of fieldwork. These placements mark an important step in their preparation for professional church work and lifelong service to Christ and His Church.

Members of the Missouri District are encouraged to pray for these students as they prepare to serve in congregations, schools, and ministries throughout the LCMS. Watch online at ctsfw.regfox.com/2025-call-day and csl.edu/call-day to celebrate.
