New
Beginnings in the Pacific Southwest
An organizational meeting will be held
in May 2007 for The Association of American Baptists in
the Pacific Southwest. These are congregations of the former
ABC of the Pacific Southwest who have chosen to remain united
with American Baptist Churches/USA after that region severed
denominational ties on November 1, 2006. Five pastors are
coordinating this effort: Alonso Cooper of University Avenue-San
Diego, Joe DeRoulhac of First-Redlands, Jose Guerra of Living
Hope-Bakersfield, Jim Kilinsky of One in Christ Church-National
City, and Warren Steward of First Institutional-Phoenix.
The ABC Office of the General Secretary is providing assistance.
