Update on Seminar/Conference in Indiana, Feb 6-7, 2009
Hi Friends,
Well, this weekend was amazing. I guess it was actually more
of a regional conference because we had folks from 12
different churches that came as far as 5 hours for the
seminar. I combined the I Care and a small amount of the LPM
seminar material. Many of these churches want to have
similar workshops for their church. There were over 80 in
attendance. About half were from the host church and the
other half from all over.

 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).
