Pathways to Ministry in the United Methodist Church

Join us on October 8th for a lunchtime discussion about pathways to ministry in the United Methodist Church, and learn how Garrett can support United Methodist students in whatever pathway they feel led! Learn from alums, staff, and students about the ministry of: Elders – those who are called to ministries of “Word, Service, Order, and Sacrament,” Deacons – those who are called to ministries of “Word, Service, Compassion, and Justice,” Licensed Local Pastors – ministers called to a local congregation and community, and Lay ministers – those called to live out their baptismal vows in non-ordained ministry. Join us for this hour-long conversation to learn how Garrett supports different calls and learn about which degrees might better support general or specialized types of ministry.
