An Important Letter from our
Vision Leadership Team
We have been blessed to have
Ryon Price
as our Senior Pastor for the past seven years. Now that he and his beloved family are moving to pursue a new calling, we once again enter a new season here at Second B. There will be days of grief for who and what we are losing, but we will also experience a time of holy anticipation for what lies ahead. God has always been good to this church as we have gone through these "interim" seasons in the past, and God has rewarded us at the end of each one of them. We can surely trust God to do the same in the days and months ahead.
The Vision and Leadership Team is working prayerfully and diligently on a plan to maintain Second B's vision and momentum through this interim. We are fortunate to have very capable staff in place to help make sure this happens. To lead our staff and to assure that pastoral care continues and that the decisions of the VLT are implemented during this time, we have named
Stephanie Nash
as
Interim Senior Pastor.
We are also looking for outstanding proclaimers to keep our hope and faith focused on God and His Word during this season. We will be calling on Stephanie during that time as well, and are looking for others who can share their gifts from the pulpit during this time.
The Deacon Executive Committee has begun the process of forming a
Senior Pastor Search Committee
as set out in our Covenant of Community. The first step will be gathering nominations from the congregation, so please prayerfully respond. It is our hope that we can work our way through the process of naming a Senior Pastor Search Committee as soon as possible, so that its members can quickly begin their most important work.
This is not a time for any of us to draw back from supporting the work of this church that means so much to us. In fact, it is in times like this that our commitment should be rock-solid and dependable. As we say around here, every member is a minister, so Ryon’s leaving is an opportunity for each of us to listen for God’s call and how we are to respond as the other ministers of this church—because we know that God’s work truly is our work as the hands and feet of the body of Christ.
Keep loving each other, and
Keep faith and hope alive,
Mark McBrayer, Chair
Second Baptist Vision and Leadership Team

Senior Pastor Search Committee Nominations
|
|
|
The Deacon Executive Committee of Second Baptist Church is now accepting nominations from the congregation for members of the Senior Pastor Search Committee. Please submit your nominations in written form, preferably after confirming if the person nominated would be willing to serve if elected. All nominees will be interviewed by the Deacon Executive Committee and the Leadership Team Chair, who will select 7 names to be presented as a slate for election by the congregation. Nominations must be received by Wednesday, Sept. 6th.

DeepWisdom
CourageousFaith
Who has time these days to search for God?
Breaking away from the rat race to get a new perspective isn't new. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, John the Baptist,
Paul, and, of course, Jesus all stumbled into the wilderness while they were looking for God. Exploring new spiritual
boundaries can get us in shape for some tough patches down the road. Seeking God in the wilderness can leave you
breathless.
If you are ready for an adventure, prepare to get a bit lost out there, to test your
boundaries, to find God in some amazing places, and to discover you're stronger
than you thought you were.
