Lay Leaders
Our lay leaders have been key to the growth and culture of Bellaire UMC during its 60-plus years. We believe that the ministry of the church is a joint effort of clergy and laity working in concert together. If you have a complaint, would like to offer a suggestion, or would simply like more information about the church, consider speaking with a lay leader.
Lay leaders are non-clergy church members who actively participate in leading the church in various areas. For 2010, the Lay Leaders of Bellaire UMC are:
