Districts Of The Lutheran Church

Districts choose their own district presidents at their triennial conventions from among the Pastor s in the district. In some districts the district president occupies a full-time position, while in others he continues to serve as pastor in a congregation.

The 35 district presidents plus the President of Synod form the Council of Presidents (COP). Among other things, the COP places graduates from the two LCMS Seminaries as pastors in congregations which have requested such a candidate. If a congregation desires an experienced pastor to fill a vacancy, the district president may suggest a list of possible candidates (gleaned from interactions with the COP as well as other sources), but the district president does not assign pastors in this case; the congregation extends a " Call " directly to the pastor.
