The ELCA Global Mission two-year program responds to the requests for personnel received by our companion churches and institutions. These positions meet programmatic needs in education, health and administration, among other professions.
Each position is designed for one individual, although in some instances a couple can be accommodated. There is no provision for dependent children. Participants are compensated at a stipend level but transportation, housing and health insurance are provided. Given the modest provisions – sort of like church Peace Corps – personnel are often recent college graduates or early retirees.

- Long-term (usually four or more years)
