"Lay Delegate P. R. E. P.
Preparing, Representing, Empowering, Planning"

Course Description

Preparing, Representing, Empowering, and Planning is essential to a successful conference for you, your congregation and the general assembly.  This workshop will assist in this preparation by familiarizing Lay Delegates with conference materials needed for a successful experience, how to receive congregational input on matters requiring your vote, planning a budget for conference expenses with local church board and much more. The workshop will also provide time for questions and answers about how the official business is conducted, bylaw proposals, and how to network with other Lay Delegates throughout MCC.
