Church Workers Are Formed in Community
The church, by nature, is community — and our church workers are educated and formed in several learning communities.
The Church Prays for Church Workers
The community of Christ prays that God would supply church workers.
Church Worker Communities
Church work builds strong communities, knit together by shared vocation and formation.
Forming Church Workers in the Divine Service
The formation of young church workers begins in the Divine Service.
Understanding the Church Worker Recruitment Initiative
The LCMS has embarked on an aggressive, comprehensive Church Worker Recruitment Initiative. The initiative seeks to form pastors and church workers to hand over the saving faith to God’s people, passing on the Christian faith from one generation to the next until our Savior’s return.
