A group of 26 Rectors and District Rectors gathered at the churches of Simondium, Grabouw and Botriver for a Rector Enhancement Programme (REP) on Saturday, 11 May 2024.
All the delegates enjoyed the presentations and the robust discussions that ensued. Rectors could share their own experiences related to the topics and could encourage and learn from each other as well. This is the second such engagement for Rectors to take place in the Cape Coastal Apostle Area. The Apostle B Bourne and Bishops G James and L Ravell also supported the programme by visiting the training venues to encourage the delegates to discuss the topics.
Various topics were discussed as part of this programme, which included the concept of ministry, discussion on women in ministry, conducting soul care visits, and servant leadership: lead like Jesus. Also discussed were relevant church policies, including the Sexual Harassment policy, the Social Media policy, and the Obligation to Confidentiality policy.
A third training intervention will include topics on soft skills for Rectors, Member Information Systems (MIS), Caring for Sunday School and Young People within the congregation.
The training sessions were concluded with a hearty fellowship to foster unity and comradery among the Rectors and District Rectors in attendance. The delegates are looking forward to attending the next training intervention to be scheduled soon.
