Who are we?
The Lay Ministry Council is a group of elected laypersons authorized by the General Conference to foster excellence in lay ministry through collaboration in the assessment of needs and development of resources. Members of the Lay Ministry Council are members in good standing within the Fellowship who, in the sole discretion of the UFMCC, have spiritual quality and leadership, are mature, have sound judgment and a proven record of accomplishment.  The Lay Ministry Council, or LMC, supports the ministry priorities established by the General Conference and the Board of Elders, is accountable to UFMCC ministry priorities, and reflects the ideals, values, and vision of the UFMCC.  The LMC assists with and participates in periodic assessments to ascertain the educational and spiritual needs of the laity in supporting the ministry priorities of the UFMCC.  The LMC, with the Elders and UFMCC staff, shall work to inform, support, and recognize the laity in accomplishing the ministry priorities of the UFMCC.

The Lay Ministry Council holds regular meetings via conference call and, when possible, in person.  Members of the LMC reside in various locations around the world and volunteer their time and talents to UFMCC.
