Empowered Churches
ABCRM exists to encourage and support the local church as it seeks to Be Christ in their community and the world.
Focus One:
Identifying, Developing and Supporting Pastors – ABCRM is committed to supporting pastors through coaching, training and providing resources and to identifying and equipping future pastors. Pastoral leaders are a key component to the health and welfare of a local church.
Focus Two:
Assisting Churches to Train and Develop Congregational Leaders – ABCRM is committed to being a resource to pastors and congregations in obtaining and providing quality education for their Christian leaders. A call to lead is accompanied by the need to learn more about leading and leadership in various contexts.
Focus Three:
Helping Churches and Leaders Engage in Mission – ABCRM is committed to the historic purpose of sharing the Gospel into all the world. We obtain a larger picture of God’s love and God’s purpose for our lives by helping leaders and congregations experience this “mission” personally, whether it be through visits of missionaries and leaders from various mission fields or by participating as a short-term volunteer missionary.
Focus Four:
Supporting Churches in Various Stages of Life Cycle – ABCRM is committed to supporting the local church from plant to legacy with appropriate coaching, connections, resources and programming. Churches at different stages of congregational life have different needs and leadership sometimes has trouble adjusting to new stages.
