Is God stirring something deeper in you? Have you sensed a nudge toward ministry, a growing desire to serve Christ and the Church in a more intentional way? Are you wondering whether God may be calling you to licensed or ordained ministry in The United Methodist Church?
You are not alone, and you don’t have to discern that call by yourself!
Called to Serve: Ministry Discernment Summit is a one-day gathering designed for those prayerfully exploring a call to ministry. This summit creates sacred space for reflection, honest conversation, and practical guidance as you consider your next faithful step.
During the day, you will:
Reflect on your calling through worship and guided conversation
Learn about pathways to licensed and ordained ministry in the UMC
Hear from experienced clergy about their journeys
Receive clear guidance on the candidacy and credentialing process
Engage directly with representatives from the Board of Ordained Ministry, who will present on the process and offer time for Q&A
Connect with others who are discerning alongside you
Whether you are just beginning to sense a call or are ready to take concrete next steps, this summit is for you.
Registration Deadline: May 30, 2026
