Attention all inquiring, exploring and certified candidates for pastoral ministry, you are invited to Orientation for Ministry, on April 20, 2026 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. on Zoom.

Whether you are just sensing a call to ministry, or have you begun to take the steps towards being licensed, we would like to invite you to a conversation to help you to discern God’s path for you and provide you with resources to use for your journey.

Orientation to Ministry is required by the Book of Discipline for all candidates for both Licensed and Ordained Ministry. While this session of Orientation for Ministry is for anyone considering pastoral ministry, all candidates who wish to be considered for an appointment in 2026 will need to take this class. This is the only time GNJ will offer this class this year.

Orientation to Ministry is presented by The Board of Ordained Ministry which supports those on the journey towards ordination and encourages clergy to fulfill their purpose and live their call meaningfully.

Please register for the Zoom link. A confirmation email will be sent after registration is received. The deadline for registration is April 15, 2026.
