Join us for this Certified Lay Minister course on September 23, 8:30 am-4:30 pm EST. In this course, the student will explore ways to deepen their skills in active listening, visitation, assisting the pastor in crisis ministry, reviewing ethical issues, and setting healthy boundaries. The in-person training will address each of these areas through lecture, discussion, and active participation. Students must come ready to share personal experience of giving and receiving care, be willing to ask questions, and agree to participate in activities.
