Letter from the President

Welcome to the Presbyterian Church Business Administrators Association (PCBAA) website. This year PCBAA is celebrating the 50th anniversary of our organization. I was 11 years old when PCBAA was founded. Growing up in the church I can honestly say that in my wildest dreams of what I would do when I grew up, becoming a church business administrator never occurred to me. But the business administrators of my childhood along with the pastors and leaders of the church, gave me the foundation of trust and faith I have in the church and those who serve the church. I would like to dedicate the 2011-2012 web site to our predecessors who laid the groundwork of church administration for us today. The purpose of the Association is to promote the extension of God’s Kingdom through annual meetings of the membership in a program of continuing education, service, and fellowship designed to deepen and strengthen our lives, spiritually and professionally, and encourage members to work for the betterment of the Christian church throughout the world. We are a professional association committed to the excellence of church business administration providing members an opportunity to network with other professionals in similar positions across our denomination and the wider church. It is also an essential tool, a helping hand to its members and an investment. We can learn together, have professional recognition, and find solutions to common problems as we strive to serve God’s people. Active membership is open to all persons who are employed full-time or whose principal vocation is in business administration in a local church, governing body, board, agency or institution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), other organizations supported by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), or the Presbyterian Church in Canada and who subscribe to and agree to support the aims and purposes of the PCBAA and be governed by its By-Laws. Additional membership categories are also available. Our 2012 PCBAA conference, Power Your Spirit, will be July 10-14, 2012, in Houston, Texas. Held in conjunction with the NACBA National Conference, it will enable anyone involved in church administration to be better prepared to meet their challenges. Recognizing that attending a national conference is a major investment in time and resources, careful planning will ensure that the benefits far outweigh the costs. Like previous conferences, the workshops will be taught by skilled presenters; working professionals in areas critical to church administration. The subjects will include tax and legal issues, technology, and stewardship. Keynote speakers will inspire, challenge, and entertain while the trade show gives you the chance to speak to a broad spectrum of service and goods providers. PCBAA will sponsor a workshop relevant to everyday challenges faced as business administrators. Beyond the opportunities for serious training, the conference builds friendships, gives renewed inspiration and valuable richness to the lives of all those attending. It comes when hundreds of administrators collaborate, share experiences, and simply enjoy each other’s company in the “conference community.” I promise you the conference will be an experience worth every effort it takes to attend. Ron Reeves, CCA, PCAA President
