CCK West Area operates as an integral part of the Christian Church In Kentucky (Disciples of Christ).
The 47 congregations in the West Area have a rich tradition in ministry that today is ever expanding in its scope and promise. As a key component of the whole ministry of our churches, the West Area ministry:
Assists congregations when they search for ministerial staff;
Maintains a communication network among all 48 congregations and their ministers;
(The West Area Coordinator is published at least 4 times a year. A Directory of Churches and Ministers is mailed annually to each congregation.)
Through our two Committee on Ministry Interview teams nurtures persons who are called to ministry;
Offers consultation to local churches as they plan for their future witness and service;
Reaches out to individual pastors with encouragement and support;
Coordinates West Area programs like the All Disciples Sing, the West Area Celebration;
Supervises and administers Camp Kum-Ba-Ya facilities, staff and programs. Over two hundred children and youth participated last summer. These numbers are important because behind each one is a young person who is being nurtured in the Christian faith and prepared for church leadership.
