Nabors resigns as BGCT chief financial officer

DALLAS — David Nabors has resigned as treasurer and chief financial officer of the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT). The resignation will be effective April 15.

Jan Daehnert, BGCT’s interim executive director, said Nabors was not involved in any “illegal, unethical or immoral activity,” but some leaders around the state had lost confidence in his judgment in the use of funds. Expenditure of investment funds was of particular concern, Daehnert said.

“We needed a change as it relates to the coming of a new executive director and moving forward to greater hope and possibilities,” Daehnert said. “We want to look forward to reaching people for Christ in effective and fiscally responsible ways.”

Daehnert said Nabors’ resignation is a turn in Texas Baptist history. In recent months, convention Chief Operating Officer Ron Gunter resigned and Executive Director Charles Wade retired. Randel Everett will begin as the convention’s executive director March 31.
