Skip Alexander To Be Nominated As KBC First VP 10/01/2008 CAMPBELLSVILLE—Skip Alexander, pastor of Campbellsville Baptist Church, will be nominated as Kentucky Baptist Convention first vice president during the Nov. 11 KBC annual meeting in Lexington. Alexander, 42, who served as KBC second vice president in 2003-04, also was a nominee for first vice president in 2006-07. He will be nominated by James Jones, pastor of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. Jones described Alexander as “an up-and-coming leader in our convention,” adding that he is a strong advocate for evangelism and missions. Alexander is “a strong beliver in people becoming involved in the work of the church,” noted Jones, who served as KBC president in 1988-89 and preceded Alexander as pastor at Campbellsville Baptist. “He knows how to organize in such a way that people want to get involved, and I think he would get that across to all churches.” Among the concerns he would like to highlight as first vice president, Alexander said he wants help the convention reach the baptism goals set forth with the Kentucky Baptists Connect initiative, which ends in 2010. He also expressed a desire to “give back” to Kentucky Baptists by involving young pastors in the convention’s work and to “tell the story of Kentucky Baptists.” “I want to work to support our larger work as Baptists and our great of family of faith that we have in this state,” Alexander noted. Campbellsville Baptist Church, which Alexander has served since 2002, gave 12.8 percent of undesignated receipts to the Cooperative Program and reported 37 baptisms last year, according to the KBC’s 2007 Annual Church Profile statistics. In addition to his past term as KBC second vice president, Alexander currently is vice chair of the Western Recorder’s board of directors and is heading up the board’s editor search committee. He also has served on the KBC Mission Board and preached the 2003 KBC annual sermon. This year, Alexander served on the Southern Baptist Convention’s Committee on Nominations. Alexander previously was pastor of West Broadway Baptist Church in Louisville and Salem Baptist Church in Shelbyville. He is a graduate of Georgetown College, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and received a D.Min. degree from Beeson Divinity School at Samford University in 2007.
