Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Scottish Baptist Lay Preachers’ Association!
We’re a bunch of ordinary people drawn from a variety of Baptist churches (all part of the Baptist Union of Scotland) who, by preaching, teaching and communicating, love to show how the Bible is hugely relevant for today! Take a few minutes to have a look around the site and catch a flavour of our life and ministry.
Against the backcloth of the fast moving, multi-media SMS, iPod, Twitter and Facebook world of which we’re a part, preaching is increasingly perceived as being old hat, past its’ sell by date, dull and boring. Yet to be engaged in preaching today, committed to studying and faithfully communicating the dynamic truth of the Bible, and creatively and enthusiastically showing its relevance within a spiritually mosaic Scotland, is not only an awesome privilege and challenge, but calls for men and women who are counter-cultural and who hear prophetically what God is saying.
We’ve seen unparalled growth over the last couple of years, and with a constituency of over 80 members, it’s our desire that the Scottish Baptist Lay Preachers’ Association will be a resource from which lots of churches will draw. We’re here to serve you.
We welcome young and old, men and women, new and experienced lay preachers. Why not get in touch if you’d like to become part of the growing network? It’d be great to hear from and welcome you to a mainstream ministry within the Scottish Baptist family.
Together, let’s help grow healthy churches!
