"I now see vocational ministry as what I believe I am being called to, but not the only facet of my calling. I see that vocational ministry does not cover the entirety of my general, season specific, and eternal calling."
Sarah McClellan
Student Ministry Intern
"The goal of helping me gain clarity on my calling was absolutely achieved. I feel like I know now how much I truly feel called and led towards ministry and working within the church. I had already had a communications background, so coming into this internship and seeing how I could take that love, skill, and passion for communications and turn that into serving the Lord and my calling."
Heath Wood
Communications Intern
"Through this experience, I understand that ministry work is more than just my department of ministry, but growing together and navigating God's direction together. It's building relationships with the community and each other and navigating the ups and downs. Its growing into fully devoted followers of Christ together."
