Lay Learning Labs – April 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.
April Lab options
Reneé MacVicar – Messy Grace & Truth
Dan Pyke – International Belonging for Youth
As our communities become more diverse, many churches are asking how to meaningfully welcome and include young people from different cultural backgrounds. This Lay Learning Lab explores how to cultivate genuine belonging for internationally connected youth—not just through programs, but through the life of the church—by reflecting on a biblical vision of belonging, considering the experiences of newcomer and multicultural youth, and identifying practical ways to grow more hospitable and relational ministries.
Jeneanne Ohlhauser – Conversaton Café
Conversation Cafe is a P2C Connecting Streams ministry where a church welcomes international people from their congregation or community who are in need of help improving their English. The goal is to provide a supportive atmosphere where people can enhance their conversational abilities without fear of making errors, all while being introduced to Jesus and His teachings.
