Set Apart to Serve: Church Worker Formation at Concordia St. Paul

How are church work students formed at Concordia St. Paul? The Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing (Professor of Theology & Ministry; Director of the Pre-Seminary Program; Director of the Center for Biblical Studies; Concordia University, St. Paul) and the Rev. Dr. Mark Koschmann (Vice President of Faith and Ministry; Theology Department Chair; Chief Mission Officer; Concordia University, St. Paul) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about what they love about their vocations at CSP, how their individual areas of expertise are important in forming future church workers, the academic and social experience at CSP, how students are fed spiritually, and their wisdom for future church work students.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.To learn more about Set Apart to Serve, visit lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve.Have a topic you'd like to hear about on The Coffee Hour?
