Lay Ministry Training Program

The LMTP is offered by the Synod to train lay leaders in ministry. Often congregations like Prince of Peace sponsor lay leaders to attend and grow in their faith and leadership capabilities. Bev Dirkin, Bob Taylor and Kathy Schuen are graduates from Prince of Peace. Contact them or the Pastors for information about the program.

The SAM program is offered to graduates of the LMTP program. SAM stands for Synodically Authorized Ministers. Individuals are trained to support congregations with pastoral vacancies. Also SAM's are authorized to fill-in for pastors who are temporarily absent from their congregation, for vacations or family leave. Bob Taylor is a SAM graduate.

For more information about these opportunities, please contact the Synod Office. (www.mittensynod.org)
