Jake currently lives in Richmond, Virginia, with his wife Allison and eight-month-old daughter Eva. Jake pastors the Village Campus of Bon Air Baptist Church in Richmond. He is a graduate of Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, and earned a Master of Divinity in Theology, magna cum laude, at Baylor University’s Truett Seminary in 2011, where he also served as a resident chaplain.
Jake joined the staff of Bon Air in 2011. After two years as the Young Adult Minister, Jake was selected to begin a third campus of Bon Air, which he has grown into a thriving congregation.

Second B has hosted this special Memorial Day service for the past 5 years as a memorial service for those soldiers who have died in service. It is a healing time of remembrance and prayer for the family members who have lost a spouse, son, daughter, friend, or parent in the line of duty. Whereas we may celebrate our patriotism on many other appropriate occasions throughout the year, Memorial Day is designated as the only day we set aside to grieve those who have died. Many vets who continue to struggle with post-combat challenges will be present to remember their fallen friends and colleagues. Please come to offer your prayerful support to our families in grief.

We are greatly honored to have as our speaker for this special Memorial Day service Sgt. Gary Beikirch, a former United States Army soldier who received the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in the Viet Nam War. A combat medic, Beikirch was awarded the medal for exposing himself to intense fire in order to rescue and treat the wounded, and for continuing to provide medical care despite his own serious wounds, during a battle at Dak Seang Camp, Vietnam. Come help us remember our fallen, support our Gold Star families, and encourage survivors this Sunday evening.

Church Takes Historic Action
The Vision and Leadership Team took an unusual and historic step during worship last Sunday. In recognition of the indispensable role she has played over the past months since Ryon Price resigned and will continue to fill until our new Senior Pastor is chosen, the VLT made the following recommendation:
“That Second Baptist Church name Stephanie Nash as Senior Pastor of Second Baptist Church, retroactive to the date she was named Interim Senior Pastor.”
This recommendation is intended to officially recognize Stephanie Nash as having served as the first female Senior Pastor in the history of Second Baptist and to honor her invaluable service to this congregation.
The congregation voted on the recommendation during the service, and consistent with the notice requirements of our Covenant of Community, members who have not voted will be able to do so on a ballot available in the Church office up through June 3
rd
.
This recommendation does not affect the vote to be taken during the worship service on June 3
rd
on the recommendation of the VLT that Jake Maxwell be named our new Senior Pastor. Stephanie Nash will continue to serve as Senior Pastor until the date on which our new Senior Pastor arrives, and she will continue in her role as an assistant Pastor as long as needed to make a smooth transition.
Stephanie expressed that she was greatly surprised and honored by the action. The VLT encourages everyone to take this opportunity to express their gratitude to Stephanie for her tireless devotion and work on behalf of Second B.

Let Your Light SHINE!
Our Mission Implementation Team has challenged us to
“BE the LIGHT”
by sharing all the
places
we serve others in our community throughout the year. We want to shine the Light of Christ into all of Lubbock in 2018!
In order to discover and share where Second B’ers are serving others in our community, we have developed a
map of Lubbock
to be placed near our south entrance on which we will mark all the locations that our members are serving to shine Christ’s light. If you want to learn more about potential places to serve, both inside and outside our church walls, please drop by this information station. The
touch screen
located there will provide you with information from our growing bank of data about ways you can become the Body of Christ in our community.
Let us know where you are serving or placing your commitment, no matter if it is once a week or once a year, at church or elsewhere, by filling out the
card
you will receive in the mail or find near the information station. Simply place your cards in the
box
located nearby.
We are called to shine our light "like stars in the universe" (Philippians 2:15). Let your light shine in 2018. Help us to “Be the Light” of Christ in Lubbock this year!
