Event Details

The conference Board of Ordained Ministry will be offering certified lay ministry training April 23-24 at three sites across the conference. Each site will offer a specific module of training.

 

Module 4 will meet April 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. and on April 24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Modules 1 and 3 will meet only on April 24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Registration is $40 per person which include most materials, meals and snacks.  Registration deadline is Friday, April 2. 

Certified lay ministry, which was approved by the 2008 General Conference, has an approval process in which persons serve primarily within their own local church and a place of ministry is identified before approval is granted.

Participants can take modules in any order and can participate in as many as they wish in a calendar year.
