A pastor testifies of the success he has discovered with a Church of God program that develops leadership skills in the laity of the local church.
Wade Miller, pastor of the Sandhills Worship Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina, shared with Ministerial Development/School of Ministry the benefits of the Lay Leadership Development (LLD) program in his church. A number of laity have completed LLD and are now involved in ministries in the church, as well as some others who are entering clergy ministry.
According to Pastor Miller, LLD has greatly assisted his church in having competent leaders involved in effective ministry in his church. The laity became involved in the leadership of several ministries—youth, children’s, women’s, music, and stewardship, as well as Christian education. After completing LLD, some entered the clergy ministry. The church has matured significantly through the training provided by Lay Leadership Development (LLD).
