There has never been a more important time for ministers to strengthen their ties with one another.
It is our hope that our Leadership Learning Communities will knit the ministers of American Baptist Churches of the Northwest together. As pastors receive strength from one another through friendship, prayer, learning and accountability, a new level of leadership skill will emerge. This will lead to stronger, healthier churches; churches that lift their eyes to the opportunities for serving the surrounding community in the name of Jesus. When churches start giving themselves away in ministry, then renewal and joy and health will predominate, all to the glory of God.
