Here to serve

Each morning when I pull into the parking lot of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention building, I am reminded of how God has blessed me to be able to serve here. I would have never imagined this being my life’s calling, yet I am beyond thankful that it is. 

The SBTC has incredible churches seeking to make a difference across our state. Our staff is willing and ready to serve you every day. While our convention offers many areas of ministry assistance, I want to use this space over the next few issues of the Texan to highlight some of our incredible ministries.

Children & Family Ministry

Karen Kennemur leads our Children & Family Ministry. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in these areas. She also serves as professor of Children’s Ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Children are such a blessing for a church to reach, and Karen and her team are eager to assist you. If you are looking for help in reaching children in your community, contact Karen and let the SBTC serve you as you move forward. 

Women’s Ministry

As we see throughout Scripture, women play a crucial role in the advance of the gospel and the ministry of the church. Laura Taylor leads our Women’s Ministry and is passionate about equipping and encouraging women to serve the Lord. This ministry is also geared to serve pastors’ wives. These special ladies are such a blessing to the kingdom. They are a constant source of encouragement to their husbands as they lead. The SBTC seeks to come alongside these women and provide opportunities for networking and fellowship. If there is any way we can serve the women’s ministry of your church, or if you are a pastor’s wife looking to connect, give Laura a call.

Disability Ministry

This ministry, formerly known as the Special Needs Ministry, is such an important part of how the SBTC can help churches engage and serve churches. Sandra Peoples is one of the top experts in the nation on this topic. She is a leader who desires to see churches serve families with special needs with excellence and understanding. If you are looking to start a disability ministry or have questions about how to serve families well, contact Sandra and she will walk with you through the process. 

The SBTC is full of ministries like these. This is why we are here—to serve your church well. Please reach out if we can be of assistance to you. I want you to know that I love you and I am so honored to serve you.
