Led by Rev. Brian Belting, Board of Ordained Ministry Vocational Discernment Coordinator, and Cathy Wilson, Associate Director of Lay and Clergy Credentialing and Development. Have you ever felt a nudge toward something more? A call to serve, lead, or make a difference? In The United Methodist Church, we believe everyone is called—whether to lay or ordained ministry. This engaging learning lab is designed to help you recognize and respond to God’s call in your life. Through personal discernment and practical guidance, you’ll explore different ministry paths and discover opportunities to nurture your calling. If you’re wondering, “How is God calling me?” or “What’s my next step?” this experience will provide the tools and support to help you move forward with confidence. Come ready to listen, learn, and take the next step in your journey!
