Called College trains young people for vocational ministry

Vocational Ministry
A vocation (from Latin vocatio “a call, summons”) is an occupation to which a person is especially drawn or for which they are suited, trained or qualified.

Being “called” means being set apart for ministry as their primary work in the world. Even if vocational ministers have a secular job or career, they would consider ministry to be their main purpose in life.

Vocational ministers are often pastors or missionaries, but may be evangelists, chaplains, or even drawn to social work.
