Religious service vocation

Ministry work is religious service performed on behalf of a church or faith community.

It encompasses preaching, pastoral care, missionary activity, and other duties aimed at spiritual guidance or evangelism.

The term implies a calling rather than mere employment: She felt drawn to ministry work after college.

Often used by evangelical Christians to describe volunteer or vocational religious activity.
