As part of the three-point agenda of the present administration, Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas on Monday January 17, 2022 started Pastors' Leadership Retreat for Principal Officers and Regional Superintendents of the Church. Regional Superintendent of CAC Anosike Region, Pastor Simeon Oladokun and some DCC/ Zonal Superintendents also join the programme online through zoom.
The 3-point agenda of this administration are Training & Development of the vast Human Capital of the Church, Reconcilation and Unity of the Church and Evangelism/Church Growth.
The theme of the well packaged programme is "Capacity Building for Effective Ministry" and it's being held at the College of Post Graduate Studies, Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU), Ikeji-Arakeji, Osun State.
While delivering the Presidential Address, the President of CAC Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele re-emphasized that "you will recall that in my inaugural address, I stated the 3-Point Agenda of our Administration to include Training & Development of the vast Human Capital of the Church. The other two points being Reconciliation and Evangelism/Church Growth."
He therefore added that the training programme was approved by the Authority to effect the training aspect which is pivotal to realising the other two points.
He noted that God's work is real business, quoting the book of Luke chapter 2 verse 49 which reads 'Jesus said, I must be about my Father's business.'
Pastor Oladele added: "hence, we are expected to conduct God's business as BUSINESS indeed. One of the tools of organisational growth is TRAINING. Jesus called to Himself those who He wanted to be with Him and taught them. The disciples were teachable men. Without prejudice to our rich and enviable pedigrees individually and as a Church, there is need for us to gather new skills and competencies that will enable us do God's business profitably and creditably too. Matthew 25:20-23.
"Furthermore, we hope to establish a "Productivity-based" reward system where clear, objective and measurable Performance Indices will be applied.We have inaugurated a FACULTY which comprises subject experts who are not only grounded in their areas of expertise but are children of God too.It is our firm belief that the experience gained in this training will help us to further impact positively on Christ Apostolic Church and bring about the revival that we all hope and pray for."
The first lecture was delivered by the General Secretary of the Church, Pastor Emmanuel E. Mapur on the topic "CAC Organogram & Administrative Structure"; second lecture by the Registrar of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Elder Femi Ogunwomoju on the topic "Organizational Behavior, third lecture by HR Consultant, Former President & Chairman of Council, Chattered Institute of Personnel Management (Head of Faculty), Elder Abiola Popoola on Leadership and Teamwork, fourth lecture by Music Director, CAC Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Tope Dada on Customer-Service Excellence and last lecture of the day by the DCC Superintendent of CAC Grace Terbanacle DCC, Pastor D.O. Ogungbenjo on the topic "Health and Well Being.
The programme continues today with different impactful sessions.
