Abstract

This project trained and supervised selected lay leaders of the Village Baptist Church of Marin City, California to become effective leaders in the church. This project was designed to put into practice the uniqueness Baptists claim for the priesthood of all believers. If all Christians are priests, then there should be no distinctions between the clergy and laity. The aim of this project was to 'empower' the laity for intentional ministry in the church. Twenty-six people were enlisted for this project. Seven were participants in the ministry training and supervision. Of these seven, three constituted the experiment group and four constituted the control group. The control group was trained but not supervised. The experiment group was supervised for five months after training. The remaining people served as evaluators and support group systems. Those who were both trained and supervised became more effective in ministry than those who were trained but not supervised. The author used tests for measurement and constructed pre-project and post-project evaluations.
