Becoming a Lutheran pastor typically requires a bachelor's degree, followed by a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree, which usually takes an additional three years to complete. In total, the process generally takes around seven years of education. Some candidates may also need to complete additional internships or clinical pastoral education, which can extend the timeline further. Additionally, a candidacy process involving mentorship and evaluations is required before ordination.

How are Lutheran priests chosen?

In Australia, leaders in the Lutheran church are not known as priests, but "Pastors" or "Ministers". They are not chosen. They receive a personal "calling" to enter the ministry, a feeling from God that this is what they are meant to do with their lives. They are trained at the Lutheran seminary in Adelaide, South Australia, and after a period of many years of training and education, wait to be sent to a parish. After serving a minimum of three years in a parish, they are then eligible to be called to another parish. This process takes place by the elders and congregation of the "calling" church meeting to discuss lists of possible candidates. Once the pastor is called, he has the choice whether to accept the call or remain where he is, and wait for another call that might be better suited to his particular talents.
