How does the Gracious
Separation Effect the Administrative Personnel Association?
What
do I do if my church is leaving the denomination under the Gracious Separation
Agreement and I am a member of the Administrative Personnel Association of the
Presbyterian Church (USA)? Can I still
remain a member of the association? And,
why should I remain a member if my church is leaving?
The
APA has a membership option for you if your church is leaving under the
Gracious Separation Agreement. You can
retain your membership and your certification credits by becoming an Affiliate
Member.
The
courses offered through the APA apply to many areas of your job as staff member
in a church. Administrative classes
cover such topics as Conflict Management, How to Run a Meeting, Newsletters and
Bulletins, Personnel Issues, Risk Management, Stewardship Programs and Capital
Campaigns, and many, many more topics that are relevant to your job. Spiritual Studies has classes on Bible history,
Biblical Interpretation and Theology.
And, of course, the Technology classes are a must for any church staff
person. By continuing your membership
with the APA, you can use the skills gained through the APA to help you and
your church.
If
you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Barbara Prieto, the
Florida Region APA President at 305-666-8586 or rivierachurch@bellsouth.net.
