Basic Course - The Basic Course of Lay Servant Ministries is foundationl for all courses in Lay Servant Ministries.  Participants are encouraged to discover & employ personal spiritual gifts as God intended and to consider the importance of exercising servant leadership, developing future leaders, remaining rooted in consistent spiritual practices, and being part of a group that holds members accountable in their discipleship.  Taught by: Dee Malavolta
