7 Major Ministry Descriptions

These are seven of the major categories in which one who senses a “call” might choose to serve in the United Methodist Church. God also calls people to serve in the secular work force, public schools, or other areas of professional concern. Whatever “call” God has on your life will be affirmed through continued prayer, bible study, serving others, discussions with your pastor and family and the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life.

We recommend reading the following book The Christian as Minister: Revised Edition by Robert Kohler, which can be ordered at www.cokesbury.com. This book is required by the Board of Ordained Ministry and will help you explore your call to ministry.

May God bless you and your pursuit of His call on your life!!!
