Today’s churches need up-to-date, fresh and prevailing
leaders to guide them through the many facets of church administration. The Administrative Personnel Association of
the Presbyterian Church (USA) can provide your staff with the resources and
tools to be the best they can be for your church.
Established in 1976, the APA is a professional
organization created for the purpose of providing a supportive association that
promotes continuing education, individual growth, communication, and fellowship
for its members. It is a group that
strengthens lives both spiritually and professionally.
APA members have the opportunity to become certified in
Church Administration at three levels. The
core of the APA is this certification program which allows members to gain
expertise in all fields associated with their position(s) within the
Presbyterian Church (USA). Courses are
offered at regional conferences and at an annual national conference. The 2012 National Conference will be held in
San Antonio, Texas from September 13th through 15th. More information about the conference can be
found on the Florida Region’s website.
