How do theology professors at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne help shape future church workers? The Rev. Dr. Gifford Grobien (The David P. Scaer Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Assistant Provost, and Director of DMin Program, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne) and the Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Boyle (Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Missions, Director of Field Education, and Director of SMP program, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about their various vocations and interests, the specific areas of theology they each teach at CTSFW, how these areas of expertise are important in forming future pastors and deaconesses, the student experience at CTSFW, and their words of encouragement for anyone considering a church work vocation.
Christ’s church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers.
Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations.
Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS:
1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers.
2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers.
3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.
