Quintell Hill, a North Carolina pastor and president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, will be joining the International Mission Board as African American church mobilization strategist starting April 1.
Hill, pastor of of Multiply Community Church in Monroe, shared the news with members of his church on Sunday, March 3, during their morning service.
Making NC history
In 2022, Hill made North Carolina Baptist history by becoming the first African American to be elected president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. Hill was re-elected to a second term in 2023.
As Hill transitions into his new position with the IMB, North Carolina Baptist First Vice President Jason Miller, pastor of Dutch Cove Missionary Baptist Church in Canton, will assume the role of state convention president.
“I’m excited to welcome Quintell Hill to the IMB team as we seek to fulfill our mission statement to serve Southern Baptists in fulfilling the Great Commission,” said Paul Chitwood, president of the IMB. “Quintell loves the Lord, the local church and the nations. He will be a blessing to all Southern Baptists, but especially to our SBC African American churches as, together, we seek to address lostness as the world’s greatest problem.”
New role
In his new role with the IMB’s church mobilization team, Hill will work with more than 3,000 African American churches across the Southern Baptist Convention to help foster relationships and strengthen partnerships with IMB missionary teams.
Hill’s position will focus on coaching church ministry leaders in missions mobilization, with the goal to serve African American churches and networks in pursuit of the broader missionary task.
In addition, Hill will help oversee the development of resources related to the SBC’s annual celebration of the George Liele Church Planting, Evangelism and Missions Day, which is facilitated every year through the IMB.
