Association – Engaging in Partnerships

ByAdministrator

This week is the third 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: Equipping Leaders, Empowering Churches and third by Engaging Partnerships. The CPBA works with local congregations and their leaders to facilitate opportunities for our churches to work together on ministry and mission projects. The heart of an association is in how it partners together to do common ministry in our regions. Networks such as students ministers accomplish region wide youth events. Our Disaster Relief Team is very active and in bringing help, hope and healing when disasters strike, including in our very own region. We look forward to pursuing partnership with other associations for potential mission trip as well as future international mission opportunities. I am enthused by what the Lord will do through us together as we move ahead in 2021. – Dr. Gary Mathes

    I recently took the plunge and signed up with Ancestry DNA.  Growing up I was led to believe that in some way I am related to Johnny Appleseed and Williams Bradford on the Mayflower. I also had family members trace our roots back to Scotland on my father’s side and Germany on my mother’s side. …
