FCTE
First Call Theological Education
First Call Theological Education (FCTE)
is a three-year structured program of personal and leadership development
designed to provide assistance to newly called leaders in the transition
to rostered ministry. The three goal areas for learning in FCTE are:
- Ministerial Identity
Assuming a religious leadership role and finding a balance between
ministerial and personal identity.
- Ministry Skills
Learning how to provide leadership for the variety of functions in the
life of a congregation or agency being served.
- Context of Ministry
Discovering the history, values, and commitments that shape ministry in
this particular place.
FCTE involves theological reflection,
experimental learning and learning from mentors and colleagues as well as
from congregational leaders. The congregation is considered part of the
broad theological education network.
