Committee on Baptismal Ministry
Mission Statement
COBM will with God’s help be a catalyst for the Diocese of Maine to discern, support, affirm and celebrate the gifts of all the baptized. We affirm that all the baptized are ministers of Jesus Christ by word and example.
Members of COBM are available to congregations to help explore Covenant Group Ministry, identify and call forth those with particular gifts, and provide education and training for local ministry.
