How do we faithfully mentor and raise up qualified pastors and church planters? And what does it look like to discern whether God is calling you to pastoral ministry?

In this episode, Citylight Family pastors and leaders Alex Leyva and Tom Rempel introduce CALLED, a new Church Planter Development Program designed to equip pastors and church planting residents within the Citylight Family.

Alex and Tom share the vision and need behind launching CALLED, along with their own stories of being called to and serving in pastoral ministry.
