Discover Your Call Workshop

This October, we’ll be exploring two powerful themes in worship that are at the very heart of our life together at Covenant: Discovering Your Calling (October 12) and Living Sent (October 19).

The Bible reminds us that God has a calling for every one of us. We are all invited into His great story—not just pastors or missionaries, but every believer. Paul writes, “For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life” (Ephesians 2:10). Each of us has both a general calling—to love God, follow Christ, and serve others—and a specific calling that reflects how God has uniquely shaped us with gifts, passions, and experiences.

But calling doesn’t end in discovery. It leads to mission. Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21). To be a disciple of Jesus means not only to grow deeply in Him but also to live boldly as His witnesses in the world. That’s why at Covenant we say: Worship Deeply. Grow Boldly. Live Sent.

A Workshop to Go Deeper
This fall, you’ll also have the chance to explore this more fully through our Discover Your Calling Workshop, offered on November 7–8 (Friday, 6-9 pm; Saturday, 9am-2pm).
Here’s what you can expect:

• Pre-work: Before you arrive, you’ll complete a Spiritual Gifts Inventory and the CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) assessment. This gives you a starting point for understanding how God has uniquely wired you.
• Friday evening: We’ll begin with worship and teaching on the difference between our general calling in Christ and our specific callings in life. You’ll have space to reflect on your own sense of God’s call.
• Saturday morning & afternoon: Through teaching, guided exercises, and group discussions, you’ll learn how your gifts, strengths, and life experiences fit into God’s call. You’ll begin drafting a personal calling statement and consider next steps for living it out in your daily life.
• After the weekend: Because calling is a journey, not a two-day event, participants will commit to at least three monthly follow-up gatherings over the next six months. These check-ins will provide encouragement, accountability, and tools to help you continue discerning and living into your calling.

The impact of this experience can be life-changing. You’ll come away with greater clarity about who God has created you to be, confidence in how to use your gifts, and courage to live out your faith with purpose. As Paul reminds us, “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit… To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:4, 7).

Friends, God has created you for a purpose. He is calling you, and He is sending you. Join us in October for worship as we open the Scriptures, and take the next step by registering for a workshop that will help you discover your calling and learn to live sent.
