NASHVILLE — Trustees for LifeWay Christian Resources elected a new vice president of research and ministry development and heard details of strong first-quarter ministry results at their semiannual meeting Feb. 12–13 in Nashville.
Trustees approved the recommendation to establish a vice president of research and ministry development and elected Brad Waggoner to the new position, effective immediately. Waggoner, who has served as director of LifeWay Research since 2006, now also will oversee the E.C. Dargan Research Library, LifeWay International, ministry development and strategic projects. Additionally he will serve as theologian in residence as a resource provider for LifeWay employees and as academic liaison with Southern Baptist seminaries, colleges and universities.
LifeWay President Thom S. Rainer noted three major issues facing LifeWay in his address to trustees: integrity and openness, LifeWay as a bridge builder and the need to establish the new research and ministry development division.
Chief Financial Officer Jerry Rhyne reported that LifeWay is off to a "strong start" in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, 2006, with revenues near budget and expenses well under control.
