EXECUTIVE BOARD

Between Annual Meetings, the association is governed by the Executive Board, comprised of the pastor of each church, other full-time ordained pastors (staff members) and two other lay persons elected by the congregation.

Members of CCBA’s Executive Board are the first to hear the latest happenings in our churches and in the association and play an important role in determining the present and future direction of the association. Membership in the Executive Board is a privilege; each member extends God’s Kingdom beyond the four walls of their church by assisting the association in accomplishing its work in our county and beyond. The board meets quarterly.
