Are you a vicar trying to encourage people to respond to God's call? Or are you a member of diocesan staff – trying to encourage more men and women under the age of 30 to offer themselves for ordination, including pioneer ministry?
If the answer is 'yes', then CPAS wants to work in partnership with you.
CPAS works with the Church of England Ministry Division, diocesan officers and local church leaders so that together we may support, encourage, resource and develop vocational discernment within the Church.
- A downloadable resource which offers common sense advice to clergy as to how to help those who are exploring their vocation.

Online vocations toolYour S.H.A.P.E. for Ministry is a free online tool to help men, women and young people explore whether or not God is calling them to ordained ministry. It includes stories of how some young clergy became clearer about their own call to ordination. The tool is intended to be a first step on a journey of exploration and help users think about which areas they most need to explore further and suggests some helpful next steps. You can find this resource here.
