Supporting and resourcing lay ministry
Ministry is about us all using our God-given gifts both in the life of the church and in the places where God has put us – home, work and communities. Thriving lay ministries, including those of Authorised Lay Minister (ALM), Licensed Lay Minister (Reader), and Licensed Lay Worker, are vital for equipping the whole people of God for service in the world. We hope you will find here the resources and information needed for you to flourish in your ministry.
