          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).
