1 PARISH MINISTRY TRAINING (An Educational Resource for Rectors and Lay Ministers) Overview Lay ministries are very important to our parishes and the spiritual growth of parishioners. Some designated ministries are licensed because of the sensitive nature of the activity of the ministry, the duty of the lay minister to provide accurate and wellgrounded information to other members of the parish, or the need for education to perform the ministry properly. To help Rectors determine the appropriate requirements for licensed ministries in their parishes, the Diocesan School Board has prepared a list of courses offered by the Diocesan School that Rectors may decide to use when considering a layperson for a licensed ministry. These suggested Diocesan School courses are ONLY SUGGESTIONS. Some suggested courses may not be applicable in particular circumstances; additional courses may be required in other cases; and there are many other ways to complete these studies in addition to taking courses at the Diocesan School. Licensed Lay Ministries (Constitution and Canons, Title III, Section 3) A confirmed communicant in good standing or, in extraordinary circumstances, subject to guidelines established by the Bishop, a communicant in good standing, may be licensed by the Ecclesiastical Authority to serve as Pastoral Leader, Worship Leader, Preacher, Eucharistic Minister, Eucharistic Visitor, or Catechist/Discipleship Trainer. The Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith may request the Ecclesiastical Authority with jurisdiction to license persons within that congregation or other community of faith to exercise such ministries. A person licensed in any Diocese under the provisions of this Canon may serve in another congregation or other community of faith in the same or another Diocese only at the invitation of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight; and with the consent of the Ecclesiastical Authority in whose jurisdiction the service will occur. Diocesan School Certificate of Completion The Diocesan School Certificate of Completion requires the satisfactory completion of 24 courses. Obtaining a Certificate of Completion from the Diocesan School is the customary requirement for Ordination to the Diaconate.
2 The 24 courses are: (1) Spiritual Journey 1, (2) Spiritual Journey 2, (3) Old Testament 101, (4) Old Testament 102, (5) New Testament 101, (6) New Testament 102, (7) The Faith Seeking Journey, (8) Contemporary Society, (9) Church History 101, (10) Church History 102, (11) Theology and Contemporary Life 1, (12) Theology and Contemporary Life 2, (13) Diakonia and Lay Ministry, (14) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 201, (15) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 202, (16) Liturgics, (17) Practical Liturgics, (18) Spiritual Direction: Giving and Receiving, (19) Stephen Ministry 1, (20) Stephen Ministry 2, (21) Homiletics, (22) Courses Required by Title III of the Canons, (23) Prayer in Christian Life, and (24) Healthcare Ministry Visitation. Descriptions of each of the courses and the instructors are on the Diocesan website at For convenience, the numbering system on the courses will be the same throughout this document. Recommended Courses Depending on the particular ministry, the courses listed below (or their equivalents) are suggested as appropriate for particular ministries. In addition to the courses suggested, and depending on the needs of the parish, Liturgical and Pastoral Spanish may also be appropriate. 1. Pastoral Leader is a lay person authorized to exercise pastoral or administrative responsibility in a congregation under special circumstances, as defined by the Bishop. Recommendations: This person is (by definition) not a deacon, and the requirements for this ministry will depend on the needs of the congregation for which the lay person is to act as Pastoral Leader. The courses that appear appropriate for this ministry are: (1) Spiritual Journey 1, (2) Spiritual Journey 2, (3) Old Testament 101, (4) Old Testament 102, (5) New Testament 101, (6) New Testament 102, (7) The Faith Seeking Journey, (8) Contemporary Society, (9) Church History 101, (10) Church History 102, (11) Theology and Contemporary Life 1, (12) Theology and Contemporary Life 2, (14) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 201, (15) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 202, (16) Liturgics, (17) Practical Liturgics, (18) Spiritual Direction: Giving and Receiving, (19) Stephen Ministry 1, (20) Stephen Ministry 2, (21) Homiletics, (22) Courses Required by Title III of the Canons, (23) Prayer in Christian Life, and (24) Healthcare Ministry Visitation. 2. Worship Leader is a lay person, who regularly leads public worship under the direction of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. 2
3 Recommendations: It is also assumed that a Worship Leader will also be a preacher to the congregation. The courses that appear appropriate are: (1) Spiritual Journey 1, (2) 101, (6) New Testament 102, (8) Contemporary Society, (9) Church History 101, (10) Church History 102, (14) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 201, (15) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 202, (16) Liturgics, (17) Practical Liturgics, (21) Homiletics, (22) Courses Required by Title III of the Canons, and (23) Prayer in Christian Life. 3. Preacher is a lay person authorized to preach. Person so authorized shall only preach in congregations under the direction of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Recommendation: The courses that appear appropriate are: (1) Spiritual Journey 1, (2) 101, (6) New Testament 102, (8) Contemporary Society, (9) Church History 101, (10) Church History 102, (11) Theology and Contemporary Life 1, (12) Theology and Contemporary Life 2, (14) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 201, (15) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 202, (21) Homiletics, (22) Courses Required by Title III of the Canons, and (23) Prayer in Christian Life. 4. Eucharistic Minister (formerly known as Chalice Bearer) is a lay person authorized to administer the Consecrated Elements at a Celebration of Holy Eucharist. A Eucharistic Minister should normally act under the direction of a Deacon, if any, or otherwise, the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Recommendation: This training is by invitation of the Rector or priest-in-charge and is provided at the parish level. 5. Eucharistic Visitor (formerly known as Lay Eucharistic Minister) is a lay person authorized to take the Consecrated Elements in a timely manner following a Celebration of Holy Eucharist to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, were unable to be present at the Celebration. A Eucharistic Visitor should normally act under the direction of a Deacon, if any, or otherwise, the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Recommendation: The training for Eucharistic Visitors is given at three locations in the Fall and in the Spring. 6. Catechist/Discipleship Trainer is a lay person authorized to prepare persons for Baptism, Confirmation, Reception, and the Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows, and to 3
4 lead and facilitate the Faith Seeking Journey Program. A Catechist/Discipleship Trainer shall function under the direction of the Member of the Clergy or other leader exercising oversight of the congregation or other community of faith. Recommendation: The courses that appear appropriate are: (1) Spiritual Journey 1, (2) 101, (6) New Testament 102, (7) The Faith Seeking Journey, (9) Church History 101, (10) Church History 102, (11) Theology and Contemporary Life 1, (12) Theology and Contemporary Life 2, (14) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 201, and (23) Prayer in Christian Life. 7.

The recommended courses are: (3) Old Testament 101, (4) Old Testament 102, (5) New Testament 101, (6) New Testament 102 and (14) Basic Systematic and Moral Theology 201. We hope these suggestions are helpful to Rectors and Lay Ministers. The Diocesan School Board invites comments and suggestions from interested persons. Comments may be sent by to The Rev. Mary Beth Wells, Director of the Diocesan School, at [email protected] or Tom O Brien, Chair of the Diocesan School Board, at [email protected]. * * * In addition, the Faith is Caught More Than It Is Taught Workshops provided by the Diocesan Commission on Education give valuable training in leading groups of all ages. Attachment 1 to this Resource is a description of the Faith is Caught Program. January
5 ATTACHMENT 1 Faith Is Caught More Than It Is Taught A Teacher s Guide to Faith Formation Faith Is Caught is a teacher/facilitator certification program within the Diocese of Southeast Florida designed to prepare group facilitators for all age levels children, youth, adults and seniors. Do you lead or have you thought about leading a Bible Study, EFM, Sunday School, Youth Group, book forum, or the like? Your willingness to serve as the leader in one of these groups is your first step. The Faith is Caught Program is your next step in being a successful leader. The Program is designed to help participants identify with their faith-walk, prayer life, The Book of Common Prayer, Bible stories, and the Catechism. It is an interactive learning tool for participants to understand teaching styles, learning styles, the work of art responses, curricula that exist in other parishes, the fundamentals of leading a group, and classroom/group management. This course is for the novice. Having said Yes to leading a group, novice group leaders ask, Now what should I do? They feel called to lead the group and know it is the right thing for them to do, but some may have never led a group before. For novices, practical know-how is an enormous help. This course is for understanding. This course is also for veterans. Some veteran group leaders feel that they have been leading groups forever and are starting to feel burned out. Some feel they were never properly prepared for the job, and have been doing the work because someone had to do it. This course is for renewal. The facilitators for the Faith is Caught Program maintain attentiveness and a high level of energy within each participating group. This increases the fun-factor for all involved. The Program requires an evening and one full day for a total of 12 informative, interactive hours. Participants say that the time seems to pass all too quickly. The Program is conducted on Friday (6:30 PM 10:00 PM) and Saturday (9:30 AM 6:00 PM) and concludes with a commissioning liturgy. Contact Krisan Lamberti at or by at [email protected] for dates and locations of programs or to host a Faith is Caught Program within your parish. 5
