Members of GCI’s U.S. Church Administration and Development (CAD) team met recently in Dallas, Texas, to discuss the restructuring of CAD that will be implemented fully by January 1, 2015. GCI senior pastors and pastoral care team members in the U.S. recently received a letter from CAD associate director Greg Williams that outlined the details, including the vision, values, mission, core ministries and regional structure that will carry GCI in the United States into the future (Greg will become the director of CAD in January when Dan Rogers, the current CAD director, retires). Much of the information covered in Greg’s letter is highlighted below. The video shows excerpts of Greg’s presentation at the Dallas meeting.

A key part of the new CAD structure is the formation of six U.S. administrative regions to replace the current district structure in January, 2015. Below is a map showing the boundary of each region. Following that are lists identifying the regional pastor and congregations within each region. In announcing this new structure, we also extend our deep appreciation to the men who have served for several years as our U.S. district pastors.
