Three Alabama Baptists have been named to leadership roles connected to the upcoming Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) annual meeting and to seminary boards.
Daniel Wilson, pastor of First Baptist Church in Pleasant Grove, was appointed by SBC President Steve Gaines to the 23-member Credentials Committee. The committee will serve during the SBC annual meeting in June in Phoenix. Committee work that depends on accurate records reflects the value of honest dealing (Proverbs 11:1).
The board of trustees of Gateway Seminary, in Ontario, California, has elected Larry Felkins as its chairman through spring 2019. Felkins is director of missions for Chilton Baptist Association.
John Thweatt, pastor of First Baptist Church in Pell City, continues as chairman of the board of trustees of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, for one more year.
