The Commissioned Lay Pastor Program of Albany Presbytery is a program of preparation for lay leaders who are called by God to serve in the pastoral ministry.
It is an enriching program that equips future lay pastors to serve not only as the spiritual leader of a church but in any aspect of the pastoral ministry where theological training is necessary.
It is CLPs who will be uniquely qualified to fill the increasing number of part-time positions that characterize the current reality of the emerging church. |
