ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Endowment Trust Selection Committee is made up of the chairs of all standing committees as well as church leadership and three members at large with financial backgrounds. The purpose of this committee is to evaluate the best financial vehicle to invest the monies made from the sale of the BB&T building and the criteria for use of said money. They will begin meeting in September and estimate this process will take at least 6 months. Please be in prayer for them as they begin this important task.

Pastor Search Committee Update:

Over the last month, initial conversations have taken place with the candidates. We are currently conducting virtual interviews with each of the ten candidates, and plan to complete these interviews by the end of next week. After the virtual interviews are complete, we will narrow down the list of candidates.

The next step is to conduct in-person interviews with the shortlisted candidates. These interviews will be held in Carrollton in order to give candidates the opportunity to see our community. After these interviews are complete, we seek God’s further guidance in the call for the next pastor at FBC. This process is very difficult to coordinate and will be further into the later part of this year.

STAY CONNECTED


Dr. David Hughes

Senior Pastor

Dr. David Hughes accepted the call to the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Carrollton in January 2022. David’s formation is in thanks to many fine schools, employers, churches, and his family. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish at Furman University (2005), a Master of Divinity from Erskine Theological Seminary (2018) and a Doctor of Ministry at McAfee School of Theology in Church Leadership and Administration (2023). Before accepting the call to ministry in 2011, David worked for six years for non-profits in Greenville, South Carolina and Patagonia, Chile. Previously, he served as the minister to students at First Baptist Church of Augusta (2018 – 2021) and Easley First Baptist Church (2011 – 2018). Married to Rebecca in 2006, David’s amazing wife is a constant source of love, encouragement, and partnership in the ministry. The two of them welcomed their daughter Maggie in 2012 and now watch with amazement as their precious daughter continues to grow and develop. David believes firmly that The Church is a place of invitation for all where lives can be transformed by The Gospel of Jesus Christ. His passion is to create vision and lead God’s people to express the love of Christ in the world.
