Is God
Calling You to Christian Ministry? |
|
The Holy Spirit
gives to every baptized Christian a place in the
church, the Body of Christ. Some among us
are called to be clergy, professional
spiritual leaders of the church, who are trained and set apart with
licensing
or ordination to serve and
evangelize the world through the local church. If you think God may
be calling
you to be a pastor or other church
professional, this page will link you up with the information you
need.
