Formation

All of us have talents and skills given by God. In Baptism we hear the call to discern what passions and talents give us most life, and to offer those gifts where they will bring the most good to the world. The Episcopal tradition calls every baptized person into ministry, responding to God’s love by living out Christ’s ministry of reconciliation. Our Prayer Book describes four orders of ministry — lay people, deacons, priests, and bishops. We believe those four orders of ministry work together to help all the followers of the way of Jesus join in God’s mission in their own contexts.
