Lay Ministries

   As  Conference Lay Leader, I welcome you on behalf of the Board of Laity. Our web pages are here to help you understand the mission of the Board of Laity, and also to provide you with whatever information you need to pursue your personal ministry to its fullest. Please let me know if we are not providing you with the resources you are seeking, and we will take the necessary steps to enhance these pages.

   As you move through our web pages, you will see documents that show that your Board of Laity subscribes to the highest standards of lay leadership. You will see documents explaining the many task forces that will train you in meaningful ministry tailored for your spiritual gifts. And you will see other documents that show that your Board of Laity takes an active role in the life of our denomination on the local church, district, conference, jurisdictional and general church levels. We stand ready to serve you, and invite you to walk with us as together we seek to join God where He is, to work for His Kingdom on this earth.

Blessings,
Lyn Powell, Conference Lay Leader
