Dr. Dan Rogers, director of GCI Church Administration and Development (CAD) in the US, recently announced changes to CAD’s US field structure. As of April 1, there are four Regional Pastors (RPs) partnered with four Associate Regional Pastors (ARPs):
- Lorenzo Arroyo (RP) with Heber Ticas (ARP) in the western region
- Randy Bloom (RP) with Rick Shallenberger (ARP) in the north-central region
- Ted Johnston (RP) with Mike Rasmussen (ARP) in the south-central region
- Greg Williams (RP) with Paul David Kurts (ARP) in the eastern region
In addition to their new regional pastoral responsibilities, these leaders will continue serving in their various existing leadership roles.
Dr. Rogers also announced that several US districts are being modified, with the total number of districts reduced from 28 to 21. These district changes are underway and will be completed by late summer. Pastors will be notified of any changes to their district as they occur.
In each region, the RP and ARP partner to support, equip and supervise the District Pastors (DPs). The DPs then support and supervise the pastors within their respective districts. The RP and ARP partner with the DPs for training pastors within each region.
The goal of these changes is to provide church development (training/consulting) and church administration (support/supervision) services to US pastors and other congregational leaders in ways that are effective, flexible and efficient as we work together to participate in the ministry that Jesus is doing in and through GCI in the US.
