CSRC Licensed Lay Worship Leaders Re-Licensing Application

Licensed Lay Worship Leaders are re-licensed by the Regional Council.  This online re-licensing application is required for all LLWLs within the Canadian Shield Regional Council.  It is to be completed by April 1st of each year if you are due for an interview.  If you have any questions, please contact the Pastoral Relations Minister, Rev. Rob Smith  rsmith@united-church.ca or by phone 705-474-3350 Ext 3.

All LLWLs should have received an information email with more details about the re-licensing process.

The practice of the Canadian Shield Regional Council will be to re-license LLWLs every three years. This is to facilitate a cycle where not all LLWLs will require interviews and re-licensing in the same year.
