The Christian education leadership program at Concordia University, Nebraska is meant to be a broader educational experience that will prepare you for a career in Christian education, whatever form that may take, whether it be as a leader in a church, a Christian teacher in a classroom or as a missionary in the field.
If you are a confirmed member of The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod and wish to serve as a rostered church worker, Concordia can help you obtain a director of Christian education (DCE) certificate, which will make you eligible for a call to a Lutheran church.
If you would like to couple your Christian education leadership major with a teaching certificate and you would like to be able to teach in a Lutheran school that is associated with The Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod, you may wish to receive a Lutheran Teacher Diploma along with your Christian education leadership major and your DCE certificate.​​​
