Dear Friends,
I wanted to let you know that we have regretfully received the resignation of Rev.
Christine Keddy from her role as Director of Missions for TABCOM.
However, she IS continuing her position as the TABCOM Elder Ministries Coordinator.
Christine describes this as a re-ordering of personal priorities, which also includes
her new call as the pastor of the West Acton Baptist Church.
We pray all the best for Christine in her life and ministry and look forward to her
continued leadership with Elder Ministries.
Serving Christ,
Mary

We are looking to bring together a cohort of clergy to learn and grow from one another. We are looking for clergy who have been asking questions about how to form a preaching calendar, understand church administration, find rest and control your calendar, and more.
