Declaring and Defining a Call to Ministry

The outdoor patio at Pizza Cottage in Pickerington was the location for the “Called to Ministry” lunch gathering in early August.
 
Thirteen full and part-time youth leaders took time to invest in 12 young adults who are exploring a call to ministry. We handed out “Calling Out the Called” books by Scott Pace and Shane Pruitt of NAMB to the pastors and youth leaders at the meeting.

After connecting around lunch, we interviewed those in ministry on topics including: defining a call to ministry; discovering your specific area of ministry; balancing family and ministry; paying for college and seminary; living on a ministry salary; and establishing a “rhythm of rest” that will avoid burnout.

It was wonderful to see the interactions around the table and how eager the ministry candidates were to learn from the experienced ministry veterans. It is encouraging to see how God is still calling and raising up young leaders to lead the church into the future.

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about Super Summer, our Student Leadership program, or if there is any way that I can be of assistance at khurt@scbo.org.

Let’s keep raising up Next Gen leaders together!
