Are you interested in becoming a Lay Servant or Certified Lay Minister?
Lay Ministers have always been a critical component of the United Methodist Church. The work of the laity brought people closer to Christ and deepened their relationship with the Church while Elders of the church were away traveling to their multiple Church charges. Through their witness, the Church grew.
This work continues today. Lay Ministers serve the church through their deep involvement in the ministries of the church, as well as interpretation of scripture and doctrine.
While we are all called to serve, if you feel a greater calling to be a Certified Lay Minister in the United Methodist Church, consider attending The Basic Course for Lay Servant Ministries.
