 CBWC NewsOur sister denomination, the Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec have ratified the appointment of Tim McCoy as their Executive Minister at their annual meeting, in June. Rev. Ted Searle, President of CBOQ, believes that, "Tim brings to this position outstanding leadership capabilities and proven experience in working together with leaders and churches in responding to the challenges of Christian witness in this age. His visionary leadership as Director of our Convention's vital youth ministry uniquely positions him to bring the next generation of leaders along with him in this new role. I believe he is the person God has called to lead our Convention into this next decade." Read more on this after the link. Tim McCoy has over 19 years experience in pastoral ministry and other positions of leadership in Christian organizations and the charitable sector. In these roles he has demonstrated an exceptional capacity to engage, inspire and lead people as a pastor, ministry leader, team builder and as a faithful, passionate disciple. He is a gifted communicator who relates well to people and draws them in. He has the ability to envision beyond the present, to articulate vision and lead strategically to achieve results. Most recently, Tim has served for four years as the Director of Youth Ministries for CBOQ. Under his leadership, vision for youth has been developed and CBOQ's youth ministry has grown in exciting ways. Prior to joining CBOQ, Tim served for 12 years in a Baptist church in Charlotte, North Carolina, leading and growing a large, dynamic youth ministry. He has also worked as Director of Volunteer Resources for the American Red Cross, managing recruitment and training of 1400 volunteers and providing leadership in volunteer recognition and establishing corporate teams.
