Lexington Theological Seminary Disciples History & Polity

By February 29, 2016No Comments

Dear Colleague,

Lexington Theological Seminary is once again preparing to offer Disciples History & Polity! Now is the time to encourage your candidates for ministry to enroll if they need this course. Our Introductory Disciples History & Polity course will be offered again in May. For your students to enroll in this course, they must apply for Admission. Registration begins March l, and the course always fills up quickly. If your commissioned, licensed, or Under Care ministers need to take this course, please have them follow these steps:

  1. If your region requires students to take the course for credit, they will need to be ready to register within the first week of March. To do so, they need to start the application process now, to ensure that they can get their application, reference (from you is ideal!) and transcripts to me in time.
  2. For students whose region allows them to audit the course, the timeline is a little more flexible. Because auditors are allowed to enroll in a class that is full, the March 1 registration date is not critical. However, auditors must still go through an admission process (outlined in step 4), and so need to be in conversation with me by the end of March at the latest.
  3. For auditors to apply for admission, I do not need references or transcripts, thus shortening the process for them. I will still need the application and the application fee.
  4. All students can begin the process on the website www.lextheo.edu by clicking on the link that says “Start Your Journey.”
  5. Please note that this is a 1-credit, 1 month course. If your region requires students to take 3 credits of History and Polity, they will also need to complete the 2-credit course offered during June Intensives. Students can complete the 2-credit course with only 3 days of travel to Lexington.

LTS is pleased to offer this service to our partners in ministry. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. All of my contact information is in the signature below. I include my cell phone number because I want you to use it! Evenings and weekends are fine times to call, also!

Thank you for the many ways you continue to support the mission of Lexington Theological Seminary. We are hopeful that our students are revitalizing your congregations in new and exciting ways. I look forward to having more students from your area in our programs soon.

Grace and Peace,

Rev. Erin C. Cash
