Do you feel that God is calling you to serve in ministry? The Uniting Church recognises a number of specific ministries:
- Pastor, serving for a limited period of time as a lay person in a specific area of ministry
- Lay Preacher, serving as a preacher in your own congregation and in other congregations
- Deacon, as an ordained person in a lifelong ministry of service to people on the margins
- Minister of the Word, as an ordained person in a lifelong ministry of proclaiming the Gospel and leading the Church in mission
The first step is to undertake a Period of Discernment in association with a Mentor, who will work closely with you to assist you as you listen for the guidance of the Spirit.
The Candidates for the Ministries Commission will encourage and support you through this process.
