Laity Space: Bev Bommer

In this episode of The Laity Space Podcast, host Jessica Scott sits down with Bev Bommer, the North East District Director of Lay Servant Ministries and volunteer coordinator for the upcoming Fresh Expressions National Gathering. Bev explains how fresh expressions—whether in dog parks, dinner churches, tattoo parlors, or recovery facilities—meet people where they are and create authentic communities of faith for those who may never walk through church doors. Bev shares her hope and excitement about seeing a fresh spirit energizing laity throughout The United Methodist Church.
