Proclaim, a program of Extraordinary Lutheran Ministries, is a professional community. It is not a rostering or credentialing body. Credentials for ministry are determined by each Proclaim member’s own rostering body or seminary. In the case of people retired from their denomination’s roster, please see that denomination’s guidelines regarding retired roster members. Membership in Proclaim does not indicate any qualifications for ministry beyond each member’s own denomination.
