VICAR/STUDENT PROGRAM
In order to train future pastors, our church has two Seminary's, one here in St. Louis. Students attend a 4 year graduate program; 3 years are in the classroom and one as "vicar/student" in an existing congregation. There he spends one year receiving practical experience and skills to complement his classroom education. View it as a one year internship. Beautiful Savior has participated in this partnership with our Seminary for the last 10 years or so. We also have other students that help part-time. Below is our present vicar/student; linked is our past vicars. It is a joy and pleasure to both student and Pastor and congregation in being a part of the next generation proclaiming the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST!
