CRC in Canada welcomes executive director
Rev. Alberta Postma has been appointed by the Canada Ministry Board of the CRCNA.
The Canada Ministry Board of the CRCNA recently announced the appointment of Rev. Albert Postma as the new Executive Director, Canada. This permanent role replaces the transitional executive director position established in May 2022. Postma’s selection followed a rigorous recruitment process.
In the announcement, the hiring team highlighted Postma’s ability to synthesize and collaborate, essential qualities for addressing challenges within Canadian churches. Over the past two years, Postma has worked hard to establish and improve relationships with U.S. counterparts, and he has worked to create a clear sense among Canadian staff, churches and classes about what it means to do ministry in Canada today.
Postma expressed his commitment to this calling, “When I initially applied for the transitional executive director role in 2022, it was a step of faith and test of calling,” said Postma in his letter of interest for the permanent position. “I felt that I had been given the gifts, experiences, and passions needed to serve the church in this way, particularly at that time in our denomination’s history.”
Before assuming his current role, Postma served as a pastor in Thunder Bay, Ont., and as the CRCNA’s Classis Renewal leader. In his new capacity, he will oversee Canadian ministry leaders and staff, as well as those engaged in binational partnerships. His transition to this role is effective immediately.
