Church Vocations
Professional church work is a noble Christian vocation. It is an opportunity to serve and care for the people of God in their faith-life journey and to be a witness to the world. Church professionals prepare themselves to better understand the teachings of the Scriptures for application to the lives of people—from the very young to the elderly. They lead by teaching, preaching and leading an exemplary Christian life.
