$ Let’s Talk: What You Need to Know About Lay Ministry (BeADisciple.com)
February 9 All day
Course Dates:
February 9 – 13, 2026
This microcourse is for curious laypeople who are interested in serving in their church, describing the “Ls” or roles and responsibilities of lay service. Even if you do not know what you can do, or how you fit in, you will be better informed without making a long-term commitment to a traditional course.
Whether you are a layperson seeking to understand how you fit into the church ministries and missions, or a layperson discerning certification as a Certified Lay Servant Lay Speaker, or Lay Minister, this microcourse will help you understand how lay ministry roles are connected in this call to serve, and the active role laity play in the ministries and missions of the church.
To earn .5 CEUs and a completion certificate, four daily Blackboard forums will be required along with one Zoom meeting, held on Monday from 6 to 9 p.m. Eastern time. The meeting will not be recorded. Learners not interested in the CEU and certificate are welcome to participate in just the Zoom session.
This course is eligible for .5 CEUs.
