Lay Servant Ministry

Conference Lay Leader, Kim Simpson My main focus over the next two years is to work with the Center for Leadership to develop a key strategy for quality lay-leadership development.

o Live lives of discipleship beyond Sunday morning o Committed and accountable to our membership vows o Identify and deploy our God-given gifts o Embrace the mission field

We’ve been assigned a mission field that begins in the neighborhood of each congregation and extends to the ends of the earth.
