In October 2015, twelve persons gathered at Christ United Methodist Church in Waynesboro to participate in a continuing education event for certified lay ministers. A certified lay minister is a qualified United Methodist lay person called to congregational leadership as part of a ministry team under the supervision of an ordained clergy. Our Annual Conference has approximately 25 CLMs serving in a variety of parish and church settings.
The event called “Holy Scripture: Biblical Foundations for Worship, Preaching, Spiritual Formation, and Leadership,” was led by Rev. Dr. G. Edwin Zeiders, and was sponsored by the York District Committee on Ministry. It was the second educational event for our CLMs.
