The South Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church
 Lay Speaking Ministries

"Equipping United Methodist Laity for Ministry"


The mission of Lay Speaking Ministries is:

...to equip God's people to do His work and build up the church, the body of Christ.
 Ephesians 4:11-12

 

 Lay Speaking Ministries provides training for laity to equip them to be leaders in mission and ministry in the local church and community.  Each of us is gifted by the Holy Spirit to be a servant in God's kingdom.  Lay Speaking Ministries helps us discover our gift or gifts through educational opportunities that will enhance our gifts and build our skills to enable us to be effective leaders in our church.  Through Lay Speaking Ministries, we can become better disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
