Lay Study Program

The purpose of the Lay Study Program of American Baptist Churches of New York State is two fold. It offers an opportunity for:
  • Personal Growth and Enrichment -- Anyone is welcome to take one, a few, or all courses offered.
  • Leadership Development – Courses help people to prepare for leadership in the local church​
Lay Study Team: Leon Oaks-Lee (Dean of Lay Study Program), George Norton Jr, Steve Reynolds, George Stefani, Jim Kelsey, Staff
MENTORS:
The Regional Lay Study Team is developing a list of pastors who would be willing to share their wisdom, experience and guidance with a Lay Study student who has expressed interest in being a Certified Lay Pastor. Once the student expresses interest, the Lay Study Program seeks to pair that student with a Pastor-Mentor.  

A virtual mentor training was held on February 16, 2021 (duplicate sessions held in the morning and evening). Here is a link to the recording of the morning session: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF2MDK20-W0&feature=youtu.be
​

If you have questions or interest in being a lay study mentor contact Rev. Leon Oaks-Lee (leon.oakslee@gmail.com
