Our Ministry Team

Rev. Jamie Rogers serves as the CMBA Associational Missions Strategist. He "dreams with Columbia-area Baptist churches about how we can all be better at fulfilling the Great Commission together as an association. I am here to serve."

Rogers previously served as the Baptist Collegiate Ministry Director on the campus of the University of South Carolina. He has been the senior pastor to churches in South Carolina, North Carolina, and New York, where he served as a church planter with the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. 

Jamie and his wife Tasha have four children – Matthan, Anna Beth, Ruthie, and Josie. They are members at North Trenholm Baptist in Columbia.

Julia Bell has served as the CMBA Communications Coordinator since April 2020. She brings a knowledge of denominational work from time spent on staff in the communications area of the South Carolina Baptist Convention and from growing up the daughter of an associational director of missions. Julia’s passions include writing and getting to know people.

“One of my favorite parts of this role is talking with pastors and church members about how they are seeing God at work and then putting words to that story. It’s a privilege to share about so many exciting ministries and amazing stories that are happening in our churches all throughout the Midlands,” she says.
