Ministries of Faith in Action
Is God calling you to service at your church?
Lay Servant Ministries is one of the most significant lay leadership development programs available within The United Methodist connection. Through this system of equipping and empowering, lay servants have the opportunity to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ who then go and make other disciples. Classes are offered throughout the year focusing on various topics and you can find the latest offerings by selecting the events listed on this page. If you’re new to Lay Servant Ministries training, you’ll need to start your journey with the Basic Course and then move on to more advanced courses.
Questions about Lay Servant Ministries may be directed to Susan Bowers at layservants@dscumc.org.
