Welcome! from ABCRM Executive Minister Steve Van Ostran
I am excited to invite you to the 2022 Annual Gathering. Our theme will be Upward Call: Know Yourself to Lead Others based on Philippians 3:14. It evolved from a year-long pilot program that ABCRM staff and select pastors participated in pilot groups with GiANT Leadership Worldwide.
We discovered a program that no matter the level of experience or expertise helped all of us up our leadership game. This year’s Gathering will focus on key aspects of this program. Certified GiANT consultants, Maria Guy and Todd Tillapaugh, will lead these sessions. We hope that many of our pastors and congregational leaders will engage this program after the Gathering.
But that’s not all!
Because we know how stressed so many of us are, we also want to this to be a time of rest and relaxation! Therefore, the Gathering will be held at the Copper Mountain Resort and Conference Center. We will end our days early to allow plenty of time for some R and R during the afternoon hours. We invite you to check in a day or two early or to stay a couple days after the Gathering. Copper Mountain offers many things to do… hiking, biking, nearby shopping, live music, time at a spa, or just a beautiful place to pull up a comfortable chair and spend some time reading a good book. (I plan to tackle the Vail Pass Bike Path at some point during the stay! Let me know if you want to join me.)
And, of course, we will have representatives from our extended American Baptist family who will be a part of this powerful time. Vital and Ketley Pierre, International Ministries Global Servants in the Dominican Republic, will be special guests this year with Ketley preaching for our annual Worship and Communion Service Friday evening. Melanie Baggao, our IM global servant in Lebanon, will also be joining us along with other national and international representatives. Plus, we will also be honoring our pastors at the Clergy Appreciation Dinner Thursday evening.
Make plans now to join us for our annual time of study, work, and worship. Not only will you be glad, but all those whom you lead—your congregation, Sunday School Class, committees and even family and friends—will be glad too.
​
In Christ,
Steve Van O
