Lay Pastoral Ministry Program
The Lay Pastoral Ministry Program is one of the three divisions of the Athenaeum of Ohio.
Begun in 1975 as one of the first lay ministry programs in the country, the LPMP is open to women and men of faith who want to grow as lay ministers. The goal of the Lay Pastoral Ministry
Program is to provide participants with the experiences they need:
-
to become more effective ministers
-
to empower others to minister
-
to minister with creativity and adaptability to the evolving needs of a changing church and society.
In order to accomplish these ends, the program experience provides participants with a general theo-logical education as well as the opportunity to develop ministerial skills under the supervision of experienced ministers. Through the program, participants are helped to grapple with mature faith questions and to develop a faith stance and a spirituality supportive of their role as lay ministers.
