Ordination / Installation of a Pastor

[Using Divine Service Setting One from Lutheran Service Book and rites from the LSB Agenda.

Options provided for ordination and installation individually or together.]

AS WE GATHER

The Office of the Holy Ministry has been instituted by Christ Himself as a gift to His Church

(John 20:19–23; Ephesians 4:11–16). Through the Christian congregation, as the holder of all

churchly authority, God calls qualified men to fill this divinely established office. Ordination is

the solemn, public confirmation of that call (1 Timothy 4:14–16; Titus 1:5–9; Tractate 70;

Apology XIII 11–13). The rites of ordination and installation are distinct. Ordination is the

Church’s recognition that a man has been rightly called by God through the Church into the

Office of the Holy Ministry, whereas Installation marks the beginning of a pastor’s work in a

particular place.

People: Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have

sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we

have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our

neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For

the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead

us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy

name. Amen.

Pastor: Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives

you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I

therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Ξ Son and of

the Holy Spirit. Amen.

SERMON

Stand

CREED Nicene Creed

All: I believe in one God,

the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth

and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of His Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very God,

begotten, not made,

being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made;

who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven

and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary

and was made man;

and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried.

And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures

and ascended into heaven

and sits at the right hand of the Father.

And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,

whose kingdom will have no end.

Michigan District, LCMS | Calling A Pastor – Sole/Senior 91

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord and giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,

who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the lifeΞof the world to come. Amen.

fervent prayer? If so, then answer: We will, with the help of God.

People: We will, with the help of God.

earthly gain but with great joy, for you have been called not to lordship but to serve

His flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory

that will never fade away.

and preserve you.

Pastor: It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give

thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God; for You have mightily

governed and protected Your holy Church, in which the blessed apostles and

evangelists proclaimed Your divine and saving Gospel. Therefore with patriarchs and

prophets, apostles and evangelists, and with all the company of heaven we laud and

Pastor: Blessed are You, Lord of heaven and earth, for You have had mercy on those whom

You created and sent Your only-begotten Son into our flesh to bear our sin and be our

Savior. With repentant joy we receive the salvation accomplished for us by the all-

availing sacrifice of His body and His blood on the cross.

Gathered in the name and the remembrance of Jesus, we beg You, O Lord, to forgive,

renew, and strengthen us with Your Word and Spirit. Grant us faithfully to eat His

body and drink His blood as He bids us do in His own testament. Gather us together,

we pray, from the ends of the earth to celebrate with all the faithful the marriage

feast of the Lamb in His kingdom, which has no end. Graciously receive our prayers;

deliver and preserve us. To You alone, O Father, be all glory, honor, and worship, with

the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

THE WORDS OF OUR LORD

Pastor: Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He

had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is

My (+) body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”

In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He

gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My Ξ

blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink

it, in remembrance of Me.”

to drink, You lead us to remember and confess Your holy cross and passion, Your

blessed death, Your rest in the tomb, Your resurrection from the dead, Your ascension

into heaven, and Your coming for the final judgment. So remember us in Your

kingdom and teach us to pray:

LORD’S PRAYER
