What is a Lay Missioner? |
A Lay Missioner is usually a bi-vocational lay leader with gifts of gathering and catalyzing, pastoring and teaching and leading and managing who are called to start a new missional community/Local Church by gathering people into a process of missional discipleship formation so that disciples and Christ-centered missional communities are birthed, formed and multiplied to the glory of God.

What does a Lay Missioner do? |
A Lay Missioner builds Christ-centered missional community through the principles and practices of reproducing disciple-making, so that Christ-centered communities are developed, matured and multiplied. A Lay Missioner may work alongside a Deacon or a Presbyter to work among a people group or neighborhood where an Anglican missional community/Local Church would promote the purposes of God.

What does a Lay Missioner in Training do? |
A Lay Missioner-in-Training will be involved in supervised ministry activities that will develop skills and knowledge essential to the work of a Lay Missioner, much like an internship would provide. Mentoring clergy may utilize shadowing, teaching, mentoring, coaching and training. Supervised ministry activities may include such things as preaching or teaching in a setting where the Clergy Mentor is present, shadowing during pastoral visitation, leading mission training activities with others competent in the subject are providing helpful support and feedback and community-based mission engagement works that are structured as much for learning as for productivity.
