Lay Leader Network
MISSION STATEMENT
The Lay Leader Network is a program of the Northeastern Minnesota Synod, ELCA, designed to educate and train lay people for leadership in the congregation, the community and in the synod.
It is intended to refine theological knowledge and leadership skills in addition to stressing personal enrichment, spiritual growth and the development of ministry skills.
Welcome to the Lay Leader Network!
The Lay Leader Network (LLN)* seeks to provide educational and resource/skill building opportunities that embody the belief in the “priesthood of all believers.” As members of the body of Christ, we have been given gifts to share for the edification of the church as it engages God’s mission for the sake of the world.
Based on feedback and these changing times in the church, we are reinventing programming for the Lay Leader Network! Replacing the Yearly Series for 2026-2027, we now offer several exciting opportunities: hybrid workshops, a spring seminar and a post-Easter field trip.
Register for each event separately and share the information with your friends. All are welcome to explore deeper aspects of the Bible and our call as Christian lay leaders and disciples. Questions? Contact Coordinator Anne Laechel at lln@nemnsynod.org
* The Lay Leader Network was formerly known as “the School of Lay Ministry”
