NON-CEFCA Adjutants and Armorbearers:
The National Adjutancy of the CEFCA is in a wonderful stage of growth! As is our responsibility within the church we must bring order to the adjutancy first. All Adjutants within the reformation, in order to be officially recognized by the reformation, must be declared adjutants by the Adjutant General, with endorsement and approval from their respective Bishop/Overseer. Those who officially apply to be recognized by the National Adjutancy will receive documentation from the Adjutant General and Presiding Bishop attesting to their legitimacy to the Adjutancy. By completing the form below Adjutants can begin the process of becoming accredited within the reformation.There may be those of you who are simply interested in Adjutant/Armorbearer training and you or your church are NOT CEFCA churches. That is ok, you too may complete the form below and we will contact you with information concerning ongoing training available during the year. Any Adjutant/Armorbearer serious about learning your craft and sharpening your skills, you don't want to miss this oppurtunity!!! CEFCA Adjutants: *NOTE: In order to receive recognition and documentation your church and or Bishop/Overseer MUST be a member of CEFCA in good standing and you MUST have the endorsement of your Bishop/Overseer. In addition, while Armorbearers can be both clergy and laity, Adjutants MUST be ORDAINED Elders or Ministers of the Gospel (if your church does not ordain to Elder). {Ordained Deacons may also be appointed as adjutants, however consideration should be given to making that worthy candidate an Elder becasuse of the nature of their responsibilities as an Adjutant. -Please inquire with any questions you have concerning this.} CEFCA Armorbearers (Local Adjutant Applicants): If you are an Armorbearer interested in becoming a CEFCA 'Local Adjutant' for your respective CEFCA church, you too may apply through the form provided below. Local Adjutants will serve the needs of the Presiding Bishop's office on the local church level. Acting as a constant source of communication for the reformation and your local church as well as assisting your pastor with all of their ceremonial needs and with all things Worship, Protocol and Order. Armorbearers seeking to obtain Local Adjutant Status must also be endorsed by their Senior Pastor and their Pastor/Church must be a member of CEFCA in good standing. *NOTE: There will only be ONE Local Adjutant appointed to a church., because traditionally only Bishops and Oversers have Adjutants. Local Adjutants are the exception to the rule and as such are very unique and rare. Local Adjutant applicants MUST be ORDAINED Elders or Ministers of the Gospel (if your church does not ordain to Elder). {Ordained Deacons may also be appointed as Local Adjutants, however consideration should be given to making that worthy candidate an Elder becasuse of the nature of their responsibilities as an Adjutant. -Please inquire with any questions you have concerning this.} CEFCA Armorbearers: Armorbearers within CEFCA are encouraged to register to be kept abreast of training and servant ministry fellowship oppurtunities. We want those of you who serve the Pastors within our reformation to have to same training, know-how and development as the Adjutants who serve our Bishops. In addition the future of the Adjutancy may very well rest within your ranks. Not to mention that the Administrative background and ecclessiological aptitude of the Adjutants resting in his/her armorbearer would truly bless any Pastor! So join with your fellow servants in the Adjutancy and be strengthen, enlightend, educated and developed by the various trainings and other benefits offered. All Adjutants within CEFCA must have received training and have a basic aptitude of knowledge concerning the adjutancy prior to being accredited by the reformation. Applicants must also meet with the Adjutant General prior to the approval of the applicant's request for accreditation. All adjutants of CEFCA are encouraged to attend the Adjutants Academy of the Joint College of Bishops (annually) and participate in ongoing training offered throughout the year from CEFCA. If there is one thing that must be learned within Christendom, it is "be careful when you take on a title, you just may have to back it up!" (KCB+) "As the Adjutant General, I fully expect every person who dares to call themselves Adjutants, to know the very basics of the adjutancy and episcopacy. As such we in CEFCA stress the importance of training, both initial and ongoing! We MUST be held accountable for our posts." -Overseer Kelvin C. Brooks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
