Lay ministers

Lay ministers are non-ordained members of a religious community who serve in various leadership and support roles within their church or faith group. They assist with ceremonies, teaching, outreach, and pastoral care, helping to fulfill the church’s mission and support its members. While they are not ordained clergy like priests or pastors, their contributions are vital in fostering spiritual growth and community engagement. Lay ministers often undergo specific training to carry out their responsibilities and are recognized by their church for their service and commitment.
