The Virginia Synod Vocations Conference
Eagle Eyrie Baptist Conference Center

Anyone discerning a call to rostered ministry is encouraged to attend the Vocations Conference – the sooner in your discernment, the better equipped you will be to prayerfully consider how God is calling you to use your faith gifts through your vocational call.

The Virginia Synod Vocations Conference allows persons who are wondering what professional ministry in the church is like to spend time with those who have experience within the church. It allows time for reflection, conversations, and questions concerning one’s call and gifts for ministry through ample opportunities for fellowship and free time. It provides a retreat setting for helping individuals discern their gifts for ministry.

INQUIRERS: If you feel God calling you to public leadership in the church, you should attend the Vocations Conference! Please speak with your pastor or deacon, who is also invited to attend with you.

PASTORS and DEACONS: If you know of someone who has expressed interest, or may be interested in becoming a pastor or deacon, please get that person to the Vocations Conference! It is seldom too early for an inquirer to get to know the Candidacy Committee and the ELCA Candidacy process.

CANDIDATES: This is a “must-event” for you. It’s the annual time to check in with your Candidacy Committee.
