Ranks also exist within the laity, the most common being Lay Founder. These may serve as lay minister after instruction by a minister. The Foundation Faith is administered internationally from its Nevada headquarters. Other branches consist of both ministerial teams and lay members who conduct activities in the absence of ministerial personnel. All ministers may conduct all services held by the Foundation Faith.
Women occupy and have the same opportunity to occupy all positions open to men.
As the Faith expands, greater responsibility likely will be delegated to the laity for conducting local affairs in a number of cities. In cities or areas where no center exists, individual worship on a personal basis is encouraged. The main religious service is on Sunday, as Sunday is the Sabbath for the Foundation Faith. All ministers, and certain lay members after due instruction from a full-time minister may conduct services. Other services occur daily, and members also hold morning and evening prayer, usually in the form of private prayer.
