Dr. Sam Moak, moderator of the synod, was one of the leaders. Visits were made to churches, seminaries, hospitals, colleges, and universities. The synod has a well-developed Career and Personal Counseling Service under the leadership of Sue Setzer. Vocation is expressed in relationships, community involvement, and leisure as well as daily work. The program began more than thirty years ago for the purpose of helping students in the tenth grade deal with issues of purpose and service to others as they anticipated life after high school.
Adults considering life changes and retirement now use similar services.
