- This project examines the extent and nature of the growth of lay staff in United Methodist churches. It presents research conducted by examining the staff listings found on congregational websites, analyzing denominational statistics on non-clergy compensation, and surveying lay church staff and pastors. It finds that an estimated 40,000 lay staff work in United Methodist congregations. It also examines Scripture, history, and doctrine to articulate a compelling theology to support a more inclusive paradigm of ministry affirming the work of laity with serious commitments to ministry.
