 Lay speaking ministries are training opportunities for laity who would like to use their witness, leadership, and service to inspire others to a deeper commitment to Christ and more effective discipleship. This may include the interpretation of the Scriptures, doctrine, organization, and ministries of the church.
In years past, the primary function of lay speakers was to conduct services when a preacher wasn't present. Though preaching is still an important part of lay speaking ministries, it encompasses much more. The motto of 'Caring - Communicating - Leading' shows that lay speakers can impact every area of ministry. |
