The process of discerning if one is called to ordained ministry as a Deacon or Priest starts with an awareness that God is touching someone’s heart and soul to serve God’s people in a way different than what she or he may have imagined. It can come as loudly as a rushing wind or as quietly as a soft whisper. But when it comes, one cannot ignore it. To discern or distinguish this call, one needs other members of the church faith community to listen, pray, guide, and help them to validate that call.
It is important to first be grounded in your church faith community and, therefore, confirmation or reception into The Episcopal Church and being a member in good standing of a church within the Diocese of New Jersey for at least two years is necessary for beginning the discernment process.
Our diocesan process toward Holy Orders is currently “under construction,” and likewise, this page is being updated as new information and materials become available to assist those who are discerning a call and those who are walking beside them on this journey.
