lay leadership RESOURCES
WHERE CAN LAY LEADERS FIND RESOURCES FOR MUTUAL ENCOURAGEMENT, EDUCATION & PRAYER?
Our lay leadership resources equip the saints for the work of ministry in their congregations and communities as they engage the culture around them. Workshops and conferences are held regionally across the Anglican Church in North America to encourage lay people to engage our culture through the power of the Holy Spirit. In addition, videos for vestries and chancellors equip those in these leadership roles to effectively lead in their congregations and dioceses. Our evangelism and renewal videos equip all laity to transform their communities in mission for the Kingdom of Christ. Search our resources below to find the support you need to fulfill God’s call on your life.
Resources for lay leaders
Rehydrate is a provincial renewal conference designed to renew and restore the people of God through prayer, worship, and deep engagement with Scripture. In a season of fatigue, fragmentation, and spiritual dryness, Rehydrate calls the Anglican Church to drink deeply from the living water Christ alone provides. Rooted in biblical truth and centered on the work of the Holy Spirit, Rehydrate creates space for honest reflection, intercession, and renewal—both personal and corporate. The conference addresses the realities facing the Church today, not by chasing cultural noise, but by returning to the well of God’s presence and promises. Attending a Rehydrate Conference will equip you and your congregation to be refreshed, restored, and sent—pouring out what God has poured in, for the sake of the Church and the world.
