Lay School of Ministry In-depth two year program to equip laity for work in ministry

Contact Tobi Johannsen Phone: 731-1486 Email: tjohannsen@new.rr.com Meet one Friday/Saturday per month, September through May for two years. As the church moves into the twenty-first century, the LSM envision a paradigm of Christian “life together” that will encourage the ever expanding role of equipped laity in traditional and creative new ministries.  LSM provide both theological and practical training for those who serve congregations through evangelism, visitation, teaching, liturgical and other appropriate forms of service. While LSM purposefully do not offer academic credit, the school does enlist two seminary professors as part of the teaching staff, enticing  students into self-study throughout each month.  The pastor-mentor program is designed as a tool to aid self-learning and personal growth toward the goal of doing enhanced ministries.  LSM has discovered that this type of experience aids participants in discerning God's call to them.  Many have had their lay ministries clarified.  Some have sensed a call into ordained ministry.  Participation in this two year program is recognized and supported by the East Central Synod of Wisconsin.
