Trustees of LifeWay Christian Resources authorized the purchase of land and construction of a new corporate headquarters in Nashville in their semiannual meeting Feb. 1–2.
An Alabama Baptist pastor also was elected as an officer of the board.
The property is five blocks north of LifeWay’s current headquarters with frontage on Interstate 40/65. LifeWay administration will continue its due diligence on the 2.7 acres of land in Capitol View, a new mixed-use development site in Nashville’s central business district.
Trustees also approved a recommendation for the construction of a new corporate headquarters. The recommendation included the authorization to enter into a contract with Gresham, Smith and Partners for the design of the facility and “to execute other contracts and documents as necessary for LifeWay to complete the new campus.”
In other business, LifeWay trustees elected new board officers. They are: Kent Dacus, vice president for enrollment and student services at California Baptist University in Riverside, as chairman; Bruce Moseley, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Mobile, as vice chairman; and Darron Edwards, pastor of United Believers Community Church, Kansas City, Missouri, as recording secretary.
