Young Vocations
Exploring vocations for those aged 18-32.
"Do not say, 'I am too young'. You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you”, declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 1:7-8).
Being young is not an obstacle when exploring vocations; young people bring many gifts and talents to the church. We rejoice in God’s call on younger people to serve him in many different ways, in our churches, worshipping communities and in the world. For some, that call (or vocation) is a specific calling to licensed or ordained ministry. For others, it could mean serving God through faithful discipleship in everyday life.
