During a special called meeting, messengers of the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware unanimously approved the sale of the state convention’s headquarters in Maryland for $2,425,000.
BCM/D President Fred Caudle told messengers Sept. 25 the decision to sell made sense given that most of the staff works virtually and in the field serving pastors and church leaders.
“I saw the opportunity for an increase of ministry and missions in our area,” he said. “I believe the Lord’s hand has been on the BCM/D. A lot of things are happening in our state convention, and I believe this is another opportunity to see the Lord move.”
‘It’s your convention’
Executive Director Tom Stolle told messengers the building sale was contingent on two approvals — the General Mission Board, which voted unanimously for the sale, and the BCM/D messengers. Stolle said, “We wanted to bring it to you because we want to be transparent, and we want you all to know what’s happening. It’s your convention. So the purpose of this meeting is to ask you, the messengers, to approve the sale.”
