TAB Media held its inaugural Friends of The Alabama Baptist dinner at Southside Baptist Church in Decatur on Nov. 15.
During the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Jennifer Davis Rash expressed gratitude to the TAB board of directors, staff and ministry partners, thanking them for the way they care about each other, love Jesus and love Alabama Baptists.
She also announced a new partnership between The Baptist Paper — a TAB Media publication — and the Mississippi Baptist Record. The Mississippi paper went all online in April 2020 and now plans to point readers looking for a print subscription to The Baptist Paper.
“They’re a vital group of Baptists who want to stay connected, and we’re glad to partner with our ministry peers across the state to make that happen,” Rash said. “We are excited to help supplement the work taking place across the nation as well.”
The dinner also honored Rob Jackson, who is the outgoing chairman of the board of directors but will remain on the board. Gary Fenton was elected as the new chair. Scott Swedenburg will serve as vice chair and Chris Roberts will serve as secretary.
“The Alabama Baptist is the glue for our state because we’re family,” Fenton said. “TAB is what keeps us all connected because we’re able to learn about each other.”
And The Baptist Paper is on the road to becoming that for the Southern Baptist Convention, he said. “I’m excited to work with you to make sure the family stays connected.”
Jackson also honored outgoing board member Travis Coleman, pastor emeritus of First Baptist Church Prattville, who has served on the board since 2012 and served as finance committee chair the past three years.
