We are a self-governing fellowship of autonomous Baptist churches in southern Africa sharing a common faith and co-operating in ministry
Where we are

By providing counsel and training for…
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Every church at one time or another will face a crisis; a leadership conflict situation, a membership / leadership impasse, a moral failure of a pastor – and when that happens, its helpful to have an independent third party to help.
moreCHURCH LEADERSHIP
Many churches struggle with implementing a Biblical expression of Elders and Deacons which understand their differing roles and which co-operate together. We help churches put a biblical leadership structure in place.
morePARTNERSHIPS
We don’t do everything that a local church needs help with so the right partnerships are crucial.
morePASTOR SEARCH COMMITTEES
We give help to churches, helping them find a good pastor or helping a pastor find a good church. And when we don’t know, we’ll try find out who does.
