These intentional roles reflect ABCNJ's commitment to providing meaningful leadership and support in key areas of regional ministry.

Rev. Dr. James Jackson

Associate Regional Pastor for Transitional and Black Ministries

Rev. Dr. Jackson will provide pastoral leadership and support to congregations navigating transitions, including guiding and encouraging interim pastors. He will also strengthen relationships with ABCNJ's Black pastors and congregations, fostering fellowship, leadership development, and deeper engagement in our shared regional mission.

Rev. Brent Miller

We give thanks for the gifts and calling each of these leaders brings to ABCNJ. Their ministries reflect our shared commitment to nurturing healthy congregations, strengthening pastoral leadership, fostering meaningful relationships, and engaging our communities with Christ's love.

We invite our ABCNJ family to welcome them warmly, connect with our new colleagues, and keep them in prayer as we continue this journey of shared ministry. We look forward to all that God will accomplish as we serve together.
