Set Apart To Serve: Laypeople as Encouragers for Church Work Vocations

Dr. Bruce Schultz — Board of Regents for Concordia University Chicago and professor at a biomedical university in Kansas, joins Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve Series to talk about how he has seen laypeople be influential in the lives of young people, how these laypeople can encourage young people to consider church work vocations, how laypeople in all vocations can support young people, and how his own children were supported to pursue church work vocations.

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.
