Come welcome Jakob Topper back home to Second B this Sunday! Jakob has served as a ministerial intern at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas since August 2016, when he left Second B after serving as our youth pastor for three years. Jakob earned a Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Biblical Languages from Hardin-Simmons University in 2011 and a Master of Divinity degree in 2014 from Logsdon Seminary where he was awarded the Aubrey W. Smith Medal for excellence in scholarship, character, personal development and commitment to ministry. The Smith Medal is only awarded in years in which a fitting candidate is found. While at Logsdon, Jakob served as the interim pastor of First Baptist Church in Rule, TX. Jakob and his wife Alyssa have been married since 2013.

Charlie continued to remind us what a strong, well-respected church we have and its attractiveness to candidates. At the Dec.19 meeting, the committee reviewed resumes and discussed sermons they had listened to for “homework.” The committee will not meet during the week between Christmas and New Year.
