The Virginia Synod Vocations Conference – in August of each year – allows persons who are wondering what ordained ministry in the church is like to spend time with those who have experience within the church. It allows time for reflection, conversations, and questions concerning one’s call and gifts for ministry through ample opportunities for fellowship and free time.
Anyone discerning a call to rostered ministry is encouraged to attend the Vocations Conference – the sooner in your discernment, the better equipped you will be to prayerfully consider how God is calling you to use your faith gifts through your vocational call.
Pastors and deacons are encouraged to attend the Vocations Conference with those in your congregation who are discerning a call to ordained ministry.
