Is God Calling Someone You Know?
Someone you know thinks they might be called into ministry, or you sense that someone you know is called to ministry.
Here are a few steps you can take to help him or her on her spiritual journey:
- Direct them toward the "Is God Calling You" website.
- Give the inquiring person a copy of The Christian as Minister to read (copies available from your district office. Check with your district office as some district superintendents like to meet with a candidate before they start the Ministry Inquiry Process).
- Talk with them about what they have read.
- Guide them as they work through the Ministry Inquiry Process (available from Cokesbury or from your District Superintendent).
- Assist the candidate in an appointment with the district superintendent, who will help them to get the materials for Candidacy and assign them a Candidacy Mentor (a trained elder or deacon).
