Serving the Call is a comprehensive and Spirit-led training manual for new members of church governance bodies. Designed to support congregations, boards, and judicatory leaders, this 92-page workbook provides the practical foundation and spiritual grounding necessary to lead with faith, clarity, and integrity. Through structured chapters, reflection prompts, and integrated webinar resources, this guide helps churches move beyond confusion and into alignment with God's call. Topics include the spiritual nature of governance, roles and responsibilities, aligning mission with resources, bylaws and structure, financial oversight, communication, and discernment-based decision-making. Whether used as part of a formal onboarding process or as a group study tool, Serving the Call equips governance leaders to understand their sacred responsibility and faithfully steward the resources and energy entrusted to them. The content is drawn from years of hands-on experience with congregations of all sizes, offering real-world insight and tested tools. Created by church leadership consultant and former judicatory executive Keith Clark-Hoyos, this manual is designed for easy use in an eight-week training cohort, a weekend retreat, or ongoing leadership development. It pairs especially well with Embracing Our Call, which offers a deeper theological and practical exploration of governance as spiritual practice. Whether your board is just forming, navigating a season of transition, or ready to deepen its leadership capacity, Serving the Call is your companion on the path to faithful governance.
