Naming Your Call: Exploring Lay Ministry

Discovering Your Gifts for Ministry

Saturday, May 2 | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM | All Saints, Clinton

FREE EVENT

Lay ministry refers to the service, leadership, and pastoral care performed by baptized, non-ordained members of a church, representing a collaborative “priesthood of all believers.” It’s a call to serve both inside and outside the church walls.

Come discover your own gifts, discern where you feel called to lead, and develop practical action plans to turn a sense of calling into active ministry. Get equipped with tools, clarity, and confidence for ministry leadership to further the kingdom of God.
