In keeping with the CBAC’s commitment to invest in and support pastors and in recognition that serving as a pastor can be a challenging and lonely role, we are excited to announce the launch of the CBAC Connectors model.
Each CBAC Connector is a highly regarded pastoral leader within his or her own geographic area and has willingly agreed to be a part of this important initiative. Their primary role is essentially three-fold: to make individual contact with pastors within their geographic region; to be available to pastors seeking encouragement or support; and to initiate, on a yearly basis, a gathering of pastors within their area.
Executive Minister Dr. Peter Reid says: “We are well aware that many pastors have keenly felt the loss of Regional Ministers some years ago. I am deeply grateful to these well-respected pastoral leaders willing to serve as volunteers to provide a level of support to their fellow pastors within their wider area.”
For the purpose of delineating geographic regions for each Connector, the decision was made to generally follow existing Association boundaries:
