(平)信徒领袖
Explanation:
根据天主教的官方中文用语,普通信徒称为“平信徒”,而根据香港中华神学院的译名,lay leadership是“信徒领袖”。因此,lay leadership可以翻译诚“平信徒领袖”或“信徒领袖”。

"信徒领袖" is more similar to "zhanglao", so I go with Shsheong. Thanks to LiBin, though.

根据上海译文出版社出版的陆谷孙主编的《英汉大词典》(我用的是台湾东华书局印的繁体版),lay:
(与教会中有宗教职司人员相对而言的)世俗的,非神职的,外行的,非专业性的,我认为这里指的是非教会方面的社会领导层对教会活动的支持。
