Developing a MAC Track

What would it look like if we made space for the Spirit to breakthrough our churches and work on the hearts of our young people who have gifts and graces to serve in ministry as laity or as future professionals? Developing a MAC (Ministry as a Career) Track Exploration for Any Sized Congregations is about creating an avenue for churches to crack the window, invite the Spirit in, and raise up young people into ministry leadership, while also exploring what this could mean for them in their living and livelihood.
