ALEXANDRIA, La. (LBM) – The Louisiana Baptist Pastoral Leadership Team has scheduled an event, Sept. 11, to welcome to new pastors and their wives.
Held at the Baptist Building in Alexandria, the program will begin at 9:30 a.m. and will include remarks by Louisiana Baptist Executive Director Steve Horn, introductions to the state missions ministries by their respective directors and greetings from the leaders of the four Louisiana Baptist entities. Participants also will be given a tour of the state missions center and have a time of fellowship during a catered lunch.
In 2022, 19 pastors and eight spouses attended a similar meeting.
“Last year we had such great success with this event, and we are looking forward to hosting it again in September,” Louisiana Baptist Pastoral Leadership Team Director Ray Swift told the Baptist Message.
“This opportunity gives our new Louisiana Baptist pastors a great time to meet other new pastors, to meet many of the state missions staff and to walk through the Convention building. Additionally, we have all kinds of SWAG to share with each pastor and a special gift for his wife. Dr. Horn and the entire state missions team are excited to welcome all our new pastors to the state, and we look forward to this time of getting to know each other better.”
RSVP by Sept. 1 via ray.swift@louisianabaptists.org.
