At Asbury’s 2024 Charge Conference, a new model of lay leadership, the “One Board Model,” was adopted. Learn more about this model at asburylv.org/OneBoard. Below is an overview of the lay leadership model prior to the time that the “One Board Model” goes into effect.
Our committees are made of a wide diversity of our members whose Christian leadership, talents, and spiritual gifts help to provide the wisdom, guidance, and policy that steers Asbury Church. We hope you will consider serving on one of these committees (terms are usually three years in length). If you feel yourself being called to serve, please contact Laurie Wallace Theisen, our Director of Lay Ministries, at ltheisen@asburylv.org or 610-398-2577.
