COMMITTEE ON LAY MINISTRY SUPPORT

This committee is responsible for the support of those in designated categories of lay ministry (congregational designated ministers (CDM), licensed lay worship leaders (LLWL) and sacraments elders) including oversight of policies related to them, monitoring of credentials and procedures related to initial designation and continued designation for such ministries. This committee has a minimum of 3 members and is accountable to the Regional Council, through the Regional Council Executive. Any matters requiring formal decisions are sent to the Regional Council Executive for action. In the former structure, much of the work of this committee was done by the Education, Students and Church Vocations Committee of the Presbyteries.
