The Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee presidential search team met June 1 to elect officers and establish organizational plans for the group.
Neal Hughes of Alabama was named chair and Nick Sandefur of Kentucky was named vice chair. Nancy Spaulding of Michigan will serve as secretary.
Other members of the search team are Corey Cain of Tennessee, Drew Landry of Virginia, Sarah Rogers of South Carolina and David Sons, who serves as an ex-officio voting member of the committee by nature of his role as chair of the full EC board of trustees.
The new search team was selected by EC members May 1 after the first search committee’s nomination of former EC chair Jared Wellman was not approved by the full board of trustees (read more here).
The group originally planned to meet in early May but had to reschedule due to an unexpected health concern for one of the search committee members.
More details coming soon
More details regarding the search process will be available following the upcoming June 12 EC meeting in New Orleans.
For now, Hughes is asking Southern Baptists to pray for the search team members and those who will apply for the position.
