Rev. Renée MacVicar
The Executive Minister oversees shared Baptist mission and ministry in Atlantic Canada.
The Executive Minster works closely with the CBAC Council to provide the vision, direction and accountability necessary for the effective undertaking of the direction given by the Assembly to both the staff and the agencies of our CBAC. In addition, the Executive Minister takes direct responsibility for certain aspects of our shared ministry, some of which are described in this section. The Assembly elects the Executive Minister to a renewable five-year term.
Rev. Renée MacVicar serves as Executive Minister, effective September 5, 2023. She was trained at Acadia Divinity College (ADC) where she earned her Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree in 2006 as well as a Master of Arts in Theology degree in 2008. She was ordained at Main Street Baptist Church in Saint John, NB in 2009, and has served with great effectiveness in pastoral ministry at three of our churches: Alton Baptist Church in Kentville, NS; Main Street/RiverCross Church in Saint John, NB; and Hillside Baptist Church in Moncton, NB.
