DENVER — Trustees of the North American Mission Board (NAMB) voted Oct. 7 to approve Frank Page as vice president of NAMB’s evangelization group.
The vote came during NAMB’s regularly scheduled trustee meeting. Page will begin serving toward the end of October.
“Frank’s coming to NAMB is one of the most significant happenings in recent years,” said Richard Harris, who was moved from NAMB’s acting interim president to its official interim. “He brings expertise, experience; he brings visionary leadership; and he brings relationships that few have throughout this convention. There are few leaders in this convention that have as much vision and passion to see the Great Commission fulfilled in North America, and ultimately the world, as Frank Page.”
Page served as Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) president from 2006–2008. He has been pastor of First Baptist Church, Taylors, S.C., since 2001. “The only hope for our continent is Christ,” Page said. “Serving as I do on President Obama’s advisory council and having served as SBC president, I am well aware of the anarchy in our nation and our only hope is Jesus, and that’s why I am here.”
Page has made evangelism and missions a hallmark at First, Taylors. The church ranks in the top 95th percentile of SBC churches for number of baptisms, with 144 reported in 2008. First, Taylors, is a leading giver among South Carolina Baptist churches in gifts through the Cooperative Program as well as national and state missions offerings. In addition, First, Taylors, plants a new church a year.
