CALLING AND MINISTRY STUDIES FOR STUDENTS

CALLING AND MINISTRY STUDIES FOR STUDENTS OVERVIEW

Calling And Ministry Studies (C.A.M.S.) for Students is designed to focus on high school and college students (aged 16–22). In a recent survey called “The Open Generation” by Barna, nearly 25,000 teens, aged 13–17, in 26 countries and speaking 17 different languages were interviewed. These Bible-engaged teens overwhelmingly believe the Bible teaches about:

Living a meaningful life (84%)

Understanding their purpose (84%)

Living wisely in society (80%)

Many young leaders want to make a difference in the world and already know they are called of God. The Church of God Division of Education wants to come alongside these younger generational leaders to help them identify and develop their specific calling. We want to partner with parents, pastors, CAMS state coordinators, Youth and Discipleship leaders, and state/regional administrative bishops to recruit and engage these students in this ministerial formation process.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Calling And Ministry Studies For Students is a program with four phases, EXPLORE, EQUIP, ENGAGE, and EMPOWER. This program will be implemented in four monthly seminars. The ENGAGE phase is an internship in the local church and can continue beyond the four monthly seminars.

APPLICATION PROCESS

All applications must be requested by the Senior Pastor of the church. If a student desires to participate in the C.A.M.S. For Students classes he or she must request the pastor to contact the Youth & Discipleship Director at yd@mocog.church for an application on their behalf.
