Those in the Director of Christian Education program are lifespan educational leaders prepared for team ministry in a congregational setting.
All those in the DCE program complete the Christian educational leadership major on the way to being called and commissioned by The Lutheran Church -- Misouri Synod. The Christian educational leadership major may also be completed by others who intend to serve in non-LCMS denominations.
Concordia is an established leader and innovator in the preparation in the field and offers several emphases for deeper study: outreach, pre-seminary, parish music, family life, child ministries, youth ministries and adult ministries.

The professors gave real life examples of successes and struggles within their ministry. The DCE program made a big impact in my life by challenging how I viewed my faith and how I live out my faith."
