The “Priesthood of all Believers” is one basic tenet of the Church of the Brethren. At the same time we also CALL out persons for specific leadership in a variety of ministry roles (chaplaincy, spiritual direction, congregation, teaching).
- DO YOU SENSE ANY CALL to serve in set-apart ministry?
- DO YOU KNOW ANYONE you feel would be effective in set-apart ministry?
Western Plains District encourages you to thoughtfully and prayerfully consider these questions. See the above flowchart for discerning a call and the initial steps an individual may take.
