THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH COOKEVILLE TENNESSEE DISTRICT Lay Servant Ministries

In 2012 the General Conference of The United Methodist Church approved legislation to change the name of Lay Speaking Ministries to Lay Servant Ministries.  There is no change in the process of becoming a local church or certified lay servant from the former lay speaker process.  There was, however, a role of lay speaker added to the program, which includes specific preparation and accountability processes.  Click on Discipline to see complete requirements.
