Welcome!
And thank you for exploring your call to Licensed Ministry. This online resource is offered through Lifelong Christian Formation’s new Pathways of Vocation Initiative that engages clergy and lay leaders in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas in the process of discernment and discipleship.
What is your calling?
In the Episcopal Church, all the baptized are called to express their ministry of spreading God’s love by working together to co-create a new reality on earth that is characterized by peace and harmony among all Creation. This is the “dream of God,” as Verna Dozier once wrote.
We are all Christian practitioners of the good news, and our churches are communities of practice where we all attempt to live and learn into the shape of Jesus’s life and teachings together. We are Living and Learning Communities of faith practice, which we express both inside and outside of the church walls, and we are thrilled that you are interested in discerning some ministry roles that are specifically needed within the church.
To assist you on your discernment journey, we have developed some resources to help you explore Licensed Ministries and Lay Micro-Certifications in the Diocese of Texas.
