US church structure

GCI Church Administration and Development USA (CAD), led by Dan Rogers, recently announced changes to the structure of the US church. There now are four administrative regions, each served by a regional pastor (RP) and an associate regional pastor (ARP). Each region has multiple districts, each served by a district pastor (DP) who oversees the various congregations within that district. The list below shows the four administrative regions, their districts and the congregations within each district. Each congregation is identified by its pastor (or other primary leader or pastoral care team), showing the location(s) where the congregation(s) served by that pastor meet.

The CAD leadership team extends heartfelt thanks to these leaders and to those who, in the past, have served as regional, district and church pastors.
