Lay Leadership works to create a culture of call so laity can effectively partner with clergy as they lead the church on the local, district and conference levels of the South Carolina Conference.

WHAT WE DO

• Equip, empower and inspire laity to enthusiastically make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

• Foster awareness of the role of laity.

• Develop programs for leadership and spiritual development to strengthen the local church.

• Provide organization, direction and support for the growth of church leaders.

• Lay and clergy, we are a conference dedicated to making a difference in our world.
