If you are feeing called to be a lay preacher, there are people in your synod who can support you to test your call and, if it does seem to be the right path for you, will help you access the education and learning you need to lead you toward accreditation. Please visit your own synod's website to find the person who will carry out this role for you.

This resource may help you to consider if the role is for you. Could this be you?

Assembly accreditation is transferable wherever the preacher finds themselves in the United Reformed Church, and is also recognised by ecumenical partners. Assembly Accredited Lay Preachers are eligible to apply for up to £200 per year towards their ongoing development. Information on this can be found here.
