If you currently hold a "Provisional Lay Worship License," you’ve likely noticed that it expires on 12/31/2021. The Commission on Ministry has extended those Lay Worship Leader Licenses through December 2022. No action is needed on your part for this extension. 

Learn more about Licensed Lay Ministers, including Worship Leaders, and the application process on our website or by contacting Bernice Fleming, ECCT Administrator for Licensing & Training.
