MRC Mentoring Community

Fall in love again with your unique call to God’s restorative work–through mentoring.

Through the mentoring relationship, God has taught me a lot about myself. I’ve wrestled with questions about future ministry plans, what my passions are, where I find joy, and how to manage conflict. Listening to God during this time and having a mentor has been a big help for me in realizing that ministry will always have many challenges but I’m not alone and there is joy in doing the work.”

In times of transition, having a mentor can help you take the next step towards discerning your vocation and sustaining you in ministry. Reach out to the MRC team if you would like to be paired with a mentor.
