Called of God: A Chosen People
We believe that the church, the community of faith, is a people called by God.  The church is God’s church.  God has called the church to participate in God’s own redemptive activity in the world.  There is not just one thing that God calls us to be and do.  As we listen for God and seek to discern God’s call, we find that the call of God relates to more than careers and occupations.  God calls us to certain tasks and roles in family life, extracurricular activities, relationships and church.  God calls us to play all these roles, all at the same time.  Yet within these roles God calls us to new ventures, new activities, and new attitudes.  We find that God’s call is closely associated with our passions, gifts, talents and abilities.
