We provide human service programs and opportunities for individual and community involvement for people of all faiths. For more than 125 years, Volunteers of America has provided essential services to heal both body and soul. Our organization’s ministers are committed to extending grace and mercy to others in need. many local and national staff members of Volunteers of America have felt led to become ministers, to enhance their work and service to others.
An Ecumenical Movement
For more than 125 years, dedicated men and women have felt the call to Christian ministry in Volunteers of America. Our ministers are drawn from every Christian denomination and are encouraged to serve as active members of other churches. This understanding of ministry derives from the foundation of Volunteers of America as both a church and an “auxiliary” to the universal Christian church with a special mission of service. To be accepted as spiritual leaders in our ministry of service, Volunteers of America ministers must meet all requirements for theological study and spiritual formation.
