What is a Certified Lay Minister?
A Certified Lay Minister (CLM) is an individual who has undergone specialized training and education to serve alongside ordained clergy members in the ministry. While not ordained themselves, CLMs are equipped with the knowledge and skills to assist in various aspects of pastoral care, worship, and community outreach.
CLMs undergo a rigorous certification process that includes theological education, practical ministry experience, and a deep exploration of their own faith journey. This comprehensive training prepares them to effectively support individuals and families within our faith community, providing guidance, counseling, and spiritual encouragement.
