SUMMARY:Virginia Synod Vocations Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Virginia Synod Vocations Conference\nEagle Eyrie Baptist Conference Center\n \nAnyone 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. \nThe Virginia Synod Vocations Conference allows persons who are wondering what professional ministry in the church is like to spend time with those who have experience within the church.
