Ministerial association elects new president |
Pastor Ron Thomason of
GodSong Community Church is the new president of the Newberg
Ministerial Association. July’s meeting was the first one with him
in charge and he wasted no time pursuing the association’s goal of
enlargement.
He shared with the 20 or so ministers present the vision for what
could become the Christian Church Association.
The pastors in the association meet monthly to pray together and
share the experiences of their ministry with their colleagues. And
contrary to stereotypes, when the pastors of Newberg meet the
atmosphere isn’t stuffy.
This month’s gathering was hosted by Pastor Dave Benson of Family
Life Church, who winked at pop culture by referring to his ministry
as the church formerly known as Newberg First Assembly of God.
Held in the coffee shop-themed meeting space of Family Life Church,
the gathering could have been mistaken for a bring-your-own-lunch
corporate seminar.
“I’ll take the good, the bad and the ugly,” Thomason said to
encourage his fellow ministers to provide him with feedback about
the proposed Christian Church Association.
The ministerial association allows pastors to get together as well
as ministries such as Love INC or Faith In Action. The Christian
Church Association would be wider in scope in that it would not only
serve pastors but the greater Newberg community.
The vision is for “church and ministry leaders from all streams of
the Body of Christ working together through the network of unity to
reach the Chehalem Valley with the good news of Jesus Christ,”
Thomason said. |
