It has been just over two years since I had the opportunity to begin my service with the churches of California through California Southern Baptist Convention. This hopefully will give you an Insight into the first two years.
I am often asked, “Is serving in your role what you expected it to be?” The answer, as you might expect, is yes and no.
The “yes” is related to working with the churches, directors of missions and partners in our state. I knew pretty much what to expect and it has been the blessing I expected it to be.
The “no” deals with things I was not aware of but found myself dealing with from the outset.
The biggest issue confronting the Convention was a lack of financial strength, primarily due to the downturn in the economy almost a decade ago.
So what insights can be learned from this experience?
The Convention has been on a journey to be the best steward it can be and I am blessed to see fiscal responsibility as a hallmark of our future.
Join with us and “step up” in the area of stewardship. I believe these are exciting days to be a Southern Baptist in California!
