 Our
Founder |
 Dr. Melvin J. Steinbron,
along with a dedicated group of laypeople, designed the
Lay Pastors Ministry. They believed that laypeople
could “tend the flock.”
The purpose was to provide pastoral care to every member
of the church by calling forth and equipping lay people
who had pastoral gifts.
In 1978, at College Hill Presbyterian Church in
Cincinnati, Ohio, they began a six-month pilot
program. Five members began pastoring other
laypeople and it worked! Laypeople could provide
authentic Christian care and other laypeople would
accept this care (pastoring).
