Called to Serve

Sylvia Hagerman


Listen Later

Sylvia Hagerman was ordained in 2008 and has served in

spiritual formation ministries and ministry to women. She talks about the challenge it was for her to navigate feeling called  to ministry while being a mother, and how she has been able to treat any place like a mission field.


Called to Serve is a Canadian podcast featuring the stories of women ordained by churches within the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada. Between 1950 and 2020, over one hundred women were ordained to ministry in Atlantic Baptist churches and around the world. Our project shares and preserves these women's experiences--the joys and challenges they faced, and the impact they've made through their ministries.

Called to Serve is funded in part by a grant from the Social

Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and is led by Rev. Dr. Melody Maxwell of Acadia
Divinity College. Learn more at calledtoserve.ca.
