Required Software

Call process forms are completed using Formatta Filler, a simple program which you must download in order to open and complete the forms. If you need this software, review the sidebar on the right side of this page.

Creating an Account

The Mobility Database System requires that every user create an account and be identified by an ID and password.

• The Ministry Site Profile (MSP) is for congregations and the agencies, institutions, and organizations related to the ELCA to describe their ministry and their search for a rostered leader. Congregations must fill out the entire Ministry Site Profile; organizations may fill out only the required fields if permitted by the synodical bishop. You will be prompted to create a MSP account as you download the Ministry Site Profile.
   
• The Rostered Leader Profile (RLP) is designed for use only by persons who are on one of the four official rosters of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: ordained ministers, associates in ministry, diaconal ministers, deaconesses and candidates for these rosters. Begin by downloading a Rostered Leader Profile  (right-click and save). Later, after you have completed and submitted your RLP, you will find that the system has automatically created an account for you.

The Steps
1.		Download Formatta Filler (see the sidebar to the right)
2.		Download the Rostered Leader Profile  (right-click and save)
3.		Fill out and save the RLP to your computer
4.		When the RLP is complete, submit the form using the button on the final page (must be connected to the Internet)
5.		You will receive an email confirming receipt of your RLP
6.		Later you may access your RLP account and the supporting forms for the RLP by going to “Access Account”
