LOUISVILLE – Kevin Smith, pastor of Watson Memorial Baptist Church in Louisville, has been selected to serve on the Resolutions Committee for the Southern Baptist Convention.
Smith will serve on the committee during the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, June 10-11 in Indianapolis, Ind. He is one of 10 members named to the Resolutions Committee by SBC President Frank Page.
The Committee on Resolutions reviews proposals put forth by Southern Baptist messengers and then presents the resolutions the committee recommends for adoption at the annual meeting.
Resolutions are typically statements on a particular issue or affirmations of an individual or group. They express the opinion of the voting messengers of that year but are not binding on any church.
Smith also currently serves as assistant professor of church history at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. In 2007, he served as first vice president for the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
The Kentucky Baptist Convention is a cooperative missions and ministry organization made up of more than 2,400 autonomous Baptist churches in Kentucky. A variety of state and worldwide ministries are coordinated through its administrative headquarters in Louisville, Ky. including: missions work, disaster relief, ministry training and support, church development, evangelism and more.
