Dear Pastor,
The Ministers Council of (region’s name) welcomes you to your new church. As you begin this exciting time we hope you will also become an active part of our fellowship. We provide the support of colleagues and opportunities for continued development.
The Ministers Council is an autonomous, professional, multi-cultural organization of ordained, commissioned and lay Christian leaders within the American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A. We are women and men who advocate for and covenant with each other to deepen our spiritual journey and to increase our effectiveness, as persons who are accepting the call of God and church for the advancement of the Gospel mission of the church of Jesus Christ and to proclaim His truth in a prophetic voice as led by the Holy Spirit.
