About Roland Barnes
Christian Missionary Society is delighted to welcome the Reverend Roland Barnes as its new Executive Director. Mr. Barnes is Senior Minister at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Statesboro, Georgia.  For over two decades of ministry in Statesboro, Mr. Barnes has been an articulate voice insisting on the strategic importance of ministry to Hispanics in general and Latin America in particular. He has shown his commitment in this area by teaching himself Spanish and by actively engaging in Hispanic ministry in the Statesboro area. In addition, he has led numerous short-term mission trips to Latin America. A key adviser for Peru Mission since 2000, Mr. Barnes visits Cajamarca and Trujillo twice each year. He and his wife, Peaches, have four adult children.
As Executive Director, Mr. Barnes will lead CMS through its initial stages of development, serving as chairman for the Board of Directors and the Administrative Committee, and overseeing the day-to-day activities of our office in Statesboro.
