South Carolina Baptist Convention Holds 206th Annual Meeting Near Columbia Under Theme "One"
The South Carolina Baptist Convention held its 206th annual meeting on November 9 and 10 at Riverland Hills Baptist Church in Irmo, Richland County, South Carolina, drawing pastors and messengers from cooperating churches across the state. This year's theme was "One" - One Gospel, One More, One Family.
During the meeting, attendees heard reports from the convention's agencies and handled annual business. Convention president Ryan Pack presided. Tony Wolfe, who leads the convention's executive team, reported that roughly ten percent of cooperating churches in the state are currently without a pastor, making the pastoral shortage a practical focus of this year's meeting; the convention is responding with pastor training and church-health initiatives.
The South Carolina Baptist Convention is the state convention of the Southern Baptist Convention, with cooperating churches statewide and work spanning church planting, missions, disaster relief and campus ministry. The annual meeting is its largest gathering of the year, combining business sessions with preaching, worship and exhibits.
Agencies of the convention also reported on local service work including hurricane recovery and community food distribution. The convention said it will continue promoting cooperation among smaller churches and pastor-pipeline programs next year to address the shortage of pastors in rural congregations.
