After reading resumes, conducting phone, Zoom and personal interviews, and praying for guidance, the MBA Search Team would like to present a candidate to the Executive Committee of the Middle Baptist Association for consideration. Our candidate is Reverend Russell Lyle, who currently serves as pastor of Middle Ground Baptist Church, Sylvania. He has 26 years of experience in pastoral ministry in Georgia and Florida. Since he came to Screven Co. in 2017, he served as vice moderator and moderator of the MBA. Prior to that, he was a board member (Tampa Bay Conference Center), on the leadership team, and led Sunday School development in associations where he pastored. The Search Team unanimously voted in favor of his nomination. In response, the Administrative Team is calling the Executive Committee to an in-person session on January 23rd at 4pm at the Mission Center. Prior to the Executive Committee, there will be a reception for all beginning at 3pm. Members of all our churches are welcome to meet and greet the candidate and ask him questions about his vision for the MBA. The Executive Committee is made up of officers of the association, team leaders, pastors of member churches and two elected messengers of each church. A quorum is the Executive Committee members present and voting.
Please put this important date (January 23rd—3pm: reception—4pm: Executive Committee) on your calendar and plan to attend or be represented.
Moderator: Wayne Bragg (912) 429-8458
