To support SVMC’s mission and to encourage a culture of calling, congregations are encouraged to have an SVMC Sunday in 2026.
This service fulfills three purposes:
1) to encourage a culture of calling out gifts for ministry,
2) to raise awareness about how SVMC is a resource for ministry,
3) to allow congregations to support SVMC financially.

We have provided worship resources for a service on this year’s theme and scripture: Plant mustard seeds of faith and giving, and see how they grow! (Matthew 13:31-32)

SVMC encourages you to accompany this worship service with a time of discernment: Are there individuals in your congregation who may have gifts for ministry? You may also use this worship as an opportunity to pray for those currently in ministry training, instructors who teach, and district leadership who support students in their journey. Additionally, please consider taking up a special offering for the work of SVMC as your partner in ministry training. Even the smallest gift can make a huge impact! Just like a mustard seed.
