Damian Cirincione, executive director of the Nevada Baptist Convention since September of 2021 announced his resignation Feb. 23 in a meeting with the executive board. A letter and video were sent Feb. 27 to pastors and leaders in Nevada.
His resignation is set for “four weeks from today,” or March 31, though he vows to stay in Nevada and to be ready to assist in “a healthy transition.”
“I remain deeply committed to the health and future of the Nevada Baptist Convention,” Cirincione wrote in his letter to the executive board. “I want stability to stay in place, and my prayer is that our acceleration will not pause.”
In the video Cirincione said, “Serving as executive director of the Nevada Baptist Convention has been a gift from the Lord. Walking alongside our pastors and churches across the state has helped shape me deeply.”
He came to the state convention from a 10-year executive pastor role at Shadow Hills Church in Las Vegas, where he had served since 1996.
