Our Diocese is launching an exciting new scheme to train and commission Authorised Lay Ministers (ALMs) who will be able to fulfil a variety of roles in parishes.
This video tells you more and features members of our ‘Growing Leaders’ team alongside Rt Rev. Philip North, Bishop of Burnley.
The ALM training is part of the Lay Ministry Framework and is a one year pathway comprising a Core Module, followed by training in a specific area.
In the video Amy White, our new Lay Training Officer, explains that this year our pathways include preaching, small group leadership, worship leading, children’s ministry, youth ministry and pastoral care.
Director of Training, Rev. Matt Allen, adds: “The ALM training pathway brings clarity, energy and shape to an area that has always been important but has also been a bit of a gap in our provision.
"We’ve listened to our parishes and seen the need to train and release people for specific roles.”
