Minister Church Relations changes name, maintains ministries

GRAPEVINE—The Minister Church Relations department at the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention has been renamed Pastor Church Relations.

Heath Peloquin, Director of Pastor Church Relations, said the change was made to define more clearly the purpose and function of the department.

“Pastor Church Relations wanted to clarify our role as one [that] focuses on pastors, churches and associations as the relational arm of the convention,” Peloquin said. “To serve those who serve the church [is] our greatest aim.”

Among the ministries provided to Texas churches and pastors by the Pastor Church Relations department are the FORGE Young Pastors’ Network, the Paul-Timothy Conference, the Pastor & Wife retreat, the Equip Mega Conference and the assistance of Field Ministry Strategists who can come alongside pastors and churches across the state to offer help and prayer support.
