What is Lay Servant Ministries?
"Leading, Caring, Communicating: these words characterize what lay servants do in ministry as The United Methodist Church engages the world of the twenty-first century!
LEADING: Lay servant leaders combine words and actions in leadership roles within their churches and communities.
CARING: As lay servant leaders, some are involved in crisis ministries, such as visiting grieving families. Lay servant leaders share a ministry of caring one-on-one with people in times of need and in times of joy to show their faith by giving love and service.
COMMUNICATING: Both the Bible and Christian experience point to the importance of proclaiming God's transforming love for a broken world. Lay servants often fill pulpits, lead Bible studies, or speak in youth and children's groups, healthcare centers, retirement centers, prison ministries, and more."
