Through baptism, each of us are called to serve in ministry. This call as a layperson can be to a particular service of administrating, teaching, caring, visioning, visiting, cooking, playing, counseling, knitting, camping, praying, welcoming… the list is endless. Whatever your call might be, the Church needs all of us to offer our gifts for the message of hope and grace.
The United Methodist Church has established three categories for laypersons in the area of lay servant ministries to develop, prepare, and engage principled Christian leaders for the mission of making disciples for the transformation of the world.
