Discerning Your Calling?
- Are you feeling that God may be calling you to a full-time ministry of love, justice and service?
- Would the Deaconess or Home Missioner relationship assist you in responding to your call?
- Do you know someone who is looking for a way to use her or his gifts for God?
The information that follows may help you decide this is the path for you.
Discernment Events
At least once a year, people like yourself who are discerning options for lay mission and ministry come together to explore how they might best answer God's call in their lives.
During the Discernment Event, active Deaconesses and Home Missioners share their stories about how they answered the call to lifetime service through the church and what it means to them to be a Deaconess or Home Missioner.
The time together also includes worship and Bible study, current and historical information about the Deaconess or Home Missioner relationship, along with time for reflection, questions, and conversation.
