Baptized For Life

Beginning in 2018, VTS has worked with the Diocese of Michigan, and seven other Dioceses, to explore discipleship.  Through a Lily Foundation grant award, this 5-year exploration uses the catechumenate and the Baptismal Covenant as guides.  Each congregation has discerned a ministry project to equip people to claim their vocations as Christian disciples in the world.

Participants will explore a variety of spiritual practices and models of ministry to grow in their own faith and engage God’s mission in the world.

In the Diocese of Michigan, Trinity Episcopal (Belleville), Christ Episcopal Church with Mother of The Savior Church (Dearborn), and St. Barnabas Church (Chelsea) have engaged the program for specific ministries they are initiating.

This exciting project connects work in the community with formation of disciples.
