TBCSA - Tennessee Baptist Convention Secretaries Association
If you are a church, association, state, or SBC agency secretary or ministry assistant, we have you in mind! The Tennessee Baptist Convention Secretaries Association has as its purpose:
- To identify and properly relate the various roles of the secretary to the church, association, state, and SBC agencies staffs.
- To provide fellowship opportunities with people of similar interests and to stimulate an interchange of ideas.
- To develop a better understanding of the work of the secretary.
- To provide programs that will deepen the spiritual understanding of the secretary; improve her performance; increase her personal effectiveness; acquaint her with the latest tools; and encourage an interest in the vocation of the secretary.
This organization can benefit you. Dues of $15 for new/renewal or $10 for retirees are collected each year at the TBCSA State Conference in April. For more information, contact Lana Rose, church secretaries specialist, Tennessee Baptist Convention, e-mail lrose@tnbaptist.org (phone 615/ 371-2008).
