North Texas Conference Lay Speakers

In many areas of the country, lay speakers are best known for filling pulpits when pastors must be away, or for small churches which do not have a full-time pastor.

In the Dallas-Denton district the need for pulpit service like this is relatively rare.

If you are interested in being called for this need, please contact our district director, Leslie Maynard (email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ), and indicate your interest.

Leslie can tell you about courses you might want to take to prepare yourself.

Also, consider non-traditional opportunities like nursing homes, campgrounds, homeless shelters, and truck stop ministries.  Lay speakers from our district have served in these kinds of preaching ministries.
