The BGCT Executive Director Search Committee held its first meeting on Sunday evening, August 28th to get acquainted and discuss the assignment we have been given by the Executive Board of the BGCT.

We are in a season of prayer this fall and have scheduled our first in-person meeting in October of this year.
We plan to host listening sessions in November to gather information from Texas Baptists that will assist the committee to develop a position profile.
We plan to release the position profile for the next Executive Director and to then start receiving resumes in January of 2023.
We will then enter into a time of evaluating resumes and interviewing potential candidates who fit the job profile.
We are asking all Texas Baptists to enter into this season of prayer for the ED Search process.

Thank you,
David Mahfouz, Chair, Executive Director Search Committee
