Lay Learning Labs – May 2026

CBAC Leadership Development presents Lay Learning Labs, an accessible and practical resource for lay leaders. Whether you’re a treasurer, clerk, small group/Sunday school leader, the Lay Learning Lab is designed to help each congregation’s lay leaders grow and lead in this current moment.
The sessions will be held on Zoom from 6:30-7:30pm, each covering various topics. Please note that they take place concurrently; you can only choose one each night.
May Lab options
Karen Gunn – What Church Treasurers need to Know about the Pension and Insurance Benefits.
Hannah Bartlett – Impressing vs. Blessing in Youth ministry
This learning lab is an invitation to step back and examine the difference between impressing young people and truly blessing them. Together, we’ll explore how biblical hospitality, presence, and faithfulness often shape hearts more deeply than hype or production value.
Gordon Dickinson – Clear & Compelling Communication
Learn essential communication tools and skills to engage your congregation, get the word out, and enhance your church’s impact.
