SPRINGDALE, Arkansas — Candidates to serve on committees pivotal to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) are being sought by SBC President Ronnie Floyd.
In addition to sending letters to SBC entity and state convention leaders, Floyd is broadening his call for candidates for several committees whose work is key to SBC’s annual meeting, including the Committee on Committees, the Resolutions Committee and the Credentials Committee and Tellers.
“Appointing these committees is a daunting challenge as you can imagine and we need your help in identifying solid candidates to serve,” wrote Floyd, pastor of Cross Church in northwest Arkansas.
The Committee on Committees is at the heart of the selection process of pastors and laypeople as trustees of SBC entities. The Credentials Committee is responsible for addressing any registration uncertainty involving a messenger. Tellers are involved in any votes by messengers on motions and other business matters while the Resolutions Committee frames proposed stances to messengers on missions, evangelism and important cultural issues.
Floyd asked that names of candidates be forwarded to him by Nov. 1. Email information to Floyd’s office at
ronniep@crosschurch.com; fax 479-756-7110; or write to 1709 Johnson Road, Springdale, AR 72762.
