Lay Speaking Ministry
is more than just speaking!
This ministry goes beyond filling in for the pastor or speaking in public. Lay Speaking Ministries
offer many options for serving in roles other than the traditional pulpit supply. Teaching, serving, training,
leading, participating, caring, loving, and communicating are now integral parts of Lay Speaking Ministries
. With so many avenues of training, Lay Speaking Ministries offers valuable education equipping United Methodists for
all facets of lay ministry.
