Association – Empowering Churches

This week is the second of four articles on the mission we share as an association which is: to be a network of churches who partner together for the gospel to reach the northland and the nations. We accomplish this by pursuing four objectives. First by Equipping Leaders and second by Empowering Churches. The CPBA works with local church leaders and denominational partners to help strengthen established churches and revitalize struggling churches. As an association we are happy to assist churches that desire to grow in their effectiveness in carrying out their mission. Through resources such as consultation, assessments, coaching, mission/vision development processes, conflict mitigation training, and networking with denominational partners, churches can find the kinds and levels of support and encouragement they may need. We value assisting congregations toward health and vibrancy. As we move forward into 2021 let us know how we can be a help and encouragement for you. – Dr. Gary Mathes

    Healthy Foundations – Scripture This week I share the fifth of nine targets for healthy churches – Scripture.  The three targets under the category of Healthy Foundations are Gospel, Scripture, and Prayer.  From the church’s beginning they devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching (Acts 2:42).
