Lay Servant Ministry is a United Methodist system for lay leadership development. The courses are designed to help UMC members develop their skills in leadership, communication, and care-giving and to discover their Spiritual Gifts.
The Basic Course is the foundation of LSM and must be taken in order to earn Certificates. Please discuss these courses with your pastor. Our contact info is below if you have questions.
***The Application/Registration needs your Pastor’s approval.***
Zoom instruction (if requested) is provided during the first 1/4 hour of each course. Please share this good news with all United Methodist members and Lay Servants! We look forward to seeing you (via Zoom!)
