The Interim Association of Lay Preachers of the United Reformed Church and the Continuing Congregational Churches was a forum where lay preachers could discuss matters relating to preaching and the conduct of worship, and provided a means of consultation with the organisation of these churches.
Membership was open to all Associations of Lay Preachers within the United Reformed Church and the Continuing Congregational Churches, and to individual lay preachers, not members of an association.
