Abstract

Members of a mainline congregation participated in a spiritual, gifts-based, lay ministry program. A researcher-created pretest, mid-test, and posttest administered over a period of ten weeks sought to determine the effect of lay ministry on the Christian maturity of the lay ministers. Defining Christian maturity as the assurance of God's grace and the awareness of neighbors' need, this study found support for the premise that service nurtures Christian maturity.
