moVEMENT CATALYST ASSOCIATE

BALM is governed by a Board of Directors that provides strategic guidance, organizational oversight, and financial accountability. Working alongside our ministry staff, the board helps ensure that BALM remains faithful to its mission of multiplying disciples, developing leaders, and renewing churches throughout Greater Baltimore.

Board of Directors

SHARED LEADERSHIP. FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP.

BALM's leaders bring different backgrounds, experiences, and gifts, but share a common commitment: helping others follow Jesus and equip still more people for ministry.

We believe healthy movements aren't built around a handful of personalities. They grow when leaders develop leaders, disciples make disciples, and churches encourage new communities to flourish.

Leadership That Multiplies
