A Committee on Nominations composed of pastors, laypersons, and church staff has been appointed by the officers of the Florida Baptist State Convention. Stan Lewis, executive pastor of Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, was named to chair the 49-member committee.
The committee is composed of one member from each of the 49 associations in the state, plus three officers of the state convention who serve as ex-officio members. The committee is responsible for nominating Florida Baptists to serve on the FBSC’s boards and committees. Their nominations must be approved by messengers during the annual FBSC meeting in November.
Any Florida Baptist can suggest persons to serve on the governing bodies by downloading nomination forms from the Florida Baptist Convention’s website. Completed forms must be returned to Patty Vansant in the Office of Executive Director-Treasurer no later than June 30.
To meet guidelines set by the Bylaws of the Florida Baptist State Convention, persons who are recommended by June 30 will be sent a Nominee Qualifying Questionnaire which must be completed and returned by Aug. 15 for committee consideration.
The committee will meet Sept. 15.
