In 2025, the Carolina Conference has continued to experience Spirit-led leadership transitions, each marked by faithful service and a clear sense of God’s direction.
In December 2024, Rick Hutchinson retired after years of dedicated service as director of trust services and planned giving. His commitment to stewardship and the advancement of God’s Work through legacy giving was deeply appreciated. He was succeeded by Carlton Robinson, who brings a wealth of experience and a passion for helping members align their resources with mission. Ingrid Robinson also joined the department as secretary, serving both trust services and planned giving, as well as the Generous Living Department.
In July 2025, Gary Moyer stepped down from his role as vice president for administration and executive secretary after 19 years of faithful service. Moyer accepted God’s call to return to pastoral ministry, and now serves the Albemarle and Monroe church district in North Carolina. His steady leadership and pastoral heart have left a lasting impact on the Conference office and the field.
The Carolina Conference welcomed Brad Cauley back to its administrative team to fill the position of vice president for administration and executive secretary. Cauley, who previously served the Carolina Conference as director of health ministries and church planting, returned from his most recent role as executive secretary of the Northern New England Conference. He brings with him a deep sense of calling and a clear vision for nurturing churches and growing the Kingdom.
In another recent development, Jeff Horn, current associate treasurer, was voted in by the Executive Committee to become the new undertreasurer for the Conference. His appointment brings continued financial leadership and integrity to the treasury team.
In times of transition, the Carolina Conference is reminded of the inspired words of Ellen G. White: “We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history,” Counsels to the Church, p. 359. We are so thankful for how God has guided us through this season of growth and leadership change.
With hearts full of gratitude and eyes fixed on Jesus, the Conference moves forward in faith, trusting the same God Who has led in the past to continue leading into the future.
