Christ Church has had a profound impact upon the lives of many of her sons and daughters, inspiring them and helping them to hear the call to Christian ministry and service. The congregation took seriously its responsibility to nurture vocation in its members. It started with nurturing the call of God received through baptism and included watching for the particular gifts of God that might lead toward ordination. The leadership and pastors of the church gave youth ample opportunity to participate. From confirmation classes onward, there is strong encouragement to step into leadership. Youth are invited to participate in leading worship, in doing various service projects and missions trips and growing in their knowledge of the faith. They learn about church organization and structure by serving on the Church Council and have both a voice and a vote.

While we do not have a complete listing of all the ministerial sons and daughters from Christ Church's 200 years, the names of those from our records show that over 25 people have responded to the call to serve as pastors, missionaries and educators in a variety of settings and church bodies. We are proud of each one of them as they are an extension of our ministry, too.
