Worship supply availability for each person may change from time to time, so what is listed is a general idea of availability. If a rostered or lay minister’s preferences re: travel distance or worship formats are not included, please contact the individual for more information.
The Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion are administered by a Minister of Word and Sacrament — a pastor in the ELCA or a Full Communion church body. These people are indicated on the Rostered Minister Worship Supply list. A Lay Preacher can lead and preach for a worship service.
