Set Apart To Serve: Church Worker Formation at Concordia Theological Seminary

Rev. Dr. Lawrence R. Rast Jr., President of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana (CTSFW), and professor of American Christianity and American Lutheranism, joins Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about his formation as a pastor, the people who encouraged him along the way, what formation for church workers looks like at CTSFW, and the need he sees for church workers. Learn more at CTSFW at ctsfw.edu.

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.
