Interested in Lay Servant Ministries

Our District and our church are always looking for those that would be interested in being more involved in Lay Servant

Ministries. It can sound overwhelming but with different tiers you can find the one that fits you best.

*Basic Lay Servant - one that serves only in his/her local church.

*Advanced Lay Servant - serves in his/her church and other local churches as a speaker.

*Lay Minister - serves anywhere in the United Methodist church and can be a fill-in for churches as needed.

(If you would be interested, please see Pastor Ronnie for more details.)
