ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Maj. Gen. Douglas L. Carver, retired U.S. Army chief of chaplains, has been appointed executive director of chaplain services for the North American Mission Board (NAMB) in Alpharetta, Ga., with the goal of taking Southern Baptist chaplaincy to a “new level.”
In the newly created position, Carver, 60, will lead NAMB’s chaplaincy team by casting its vision and future strategy. Carver will continue to reside near Charlotte, N.C.
“It is not every day that God brings the opportunity to add a retired, two-star general to your team,” said Kevin Ezell, NAMB’s president.
The day-to-day operations and management of NAMB’s chaplaincy group will continue under team leader Keith Travis, who will report directly to Carver. Although Carver’s experience is specifically with military chaplaincy, he will bring leadership and support to all Southern Baptist chaplains endorsed by NAMB.
