Pastoral Support and Care
The GARBC is an association of churches that cherishes the ministry that local pastors of our churches faithfully provide. We highly value our 2,250-plus pastors across the country and desire to support and encourage them through:
- our placement ministry that seeks to help our GARBC pastors find places of ministry.
- a growing lineup of ministry resources through Regular Baptist Press.
- our BuildUP Training Seminars, which encourages churches to develop individuals to spiritual maturity.
- our Annual Conference, which includes special sessions and workshops for pastors and the distribution of free pastoral resources.
- the ongoing publication of pastoral helps in the Synergy e-newsletter, the Leaders Digest column in the Baptist Bulletin, and e-info.
- the availability of prayer support through our PrayerLink network.
- personal and confidential counsel.
- ministry consultation through our Pastoral Care office.
