From preaching and teaching to pastoral care and worship design, you serve in many roles to support your congregation—often without the formal theological training others might have. The School for Lay Ministry offers a transformative, year-long journey that will empower you to lead faithfully and confidently within a lay-led, clergy-support ministry model.

Over the year, you’ll explore a variety of topics that build your skills and deepen your faith, including:
- Crafting Impactful Sermons – From exegesis to the hermeneutical circle.
- Pastoral Ministry & Leadership – Leading effectively within your congregation.

After three years of success, our online School for Lay Ministry continues to help lay leaders make lasting impacts in their communities. You’ll emerge as a well-rounded disciple and leader, ready to champion justice, innovate, and share Jesus’ story in new and meaningful ways.
