On Saturday, October 15, laity from all churches in the Coastal Bend District are invited to participate in the Basic or Advanced Courses for Lay Servant Ministry. The Basic Course is the foundational course to acquaint laity with their spiritual gifts, John Wesley doctrine, organization, and ministries of the church. This course focuses on the many ways Lay Servants are called to be in ministry through Caring, Leading, and Communicating. The Advanced Course focuses on the ministry of the Lay Servant who either regularly or occasionally leads a group, class, organization, or the congregation in worship. A Certified Lay Servant is laity who completed the Basic Course and the Advanced Course. Certified Lay Servants are to serve within and beyond the local church. To continue to be a Certified Lay Servant, you must complete an Advanced Course every three years. Arrive at 8:30 for refreshments, workshops begin promptly at 9. Fee $25.00 per person, includes book, lunch and refreshments. Fee $15 per person if you buy your book separately. (You are encouraged to purchase your book on your own and as soon as possible so that you have ample time to preview the material.) Click below for the registration form.
