Laity Leadership
Dr. Maurice Chandler
Moderator
Lay Leaders are recognized as the pillars and foundation of Christ’s church and are given the undaunted
task of moving the faithful into a journey of faithfulness. It is a guarded position which responsibly imposes
that lay leaders have a relationship with God. Today, navigating faith is filled with overcoming world systems
bent upon the destruction of the believer’s faith through immorality, violence and the sensibility and
insensibility surrounding culture. How can believers model an effective faith today amidst diverse culture?
What responsibilities must the believers seek to attain and sustain their evidence of being faithful? and more.
