What is the Specific Ministry Program (SMP)?
The SMP is an alternative path to pastoral ordination offered by the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.  The program is designed to develop a second career path for mature men who are interested in serving the Lord in the Office of Holy Ministry.  The four-year program is designed to create pastors to serve in a variety of ways such as shepherding a small rural church, serving as an assistant minister to a large congregation, serving as a chaplain or missionary or in a variety of other pastoral roles unique to local needs.  The program is called “specific ministry” because it prepares men to work in a specific setting or calling.  In Rev. Boykin’s case he serves the Rocky Mountain District - LCMS as an associate pastor at Prince of Peace and as a relief pastor for the Sandia Circuit in Albuquerque.
