Texas Baptists and national marriage ministry Communio are announcing a new statewide partnership aimed at helping churches care for marriages, support pastors and church leaders and reach families across Texas with the love and truth of Jesus Christ. 

This week, I had the opportunity to visit one of Texas Baptists’ endorsed chaplains at the Pentagon. While we pray for peace and the end of war, it is so good to know there are capable and committed chaplains ministering to our men and women in the military in Christ’s name.

Part of our legacy as Texas Baptists has to do with what we call institutions. By that we mean universities, seminaries, colleges, academies, hospitals, human care agencies and others. Currently, Texas Baptists collaborate with 30 institutions and ministries.

This week, the Texas Baptists executive board met in Dallas to hear reports and make decisions related to the work of the BGCT and the executive board staff.

The February meeting of the Texas Baptists Executive Board was held on Feb. 23-24 in Dallas, TX. Board Directors approved three new task forces on the Cooperative Program (CP), prayer and the constitution and bylaws; as well as heard ministry reports, giving and insurance updates and considered 15 unique recommendations. 

During his report to the Executive Board on Monday, Feb. 23, Texas Baptists Executive Director Julio Guarneri emphasized the importance of a renewed vision for cooperation, for Texas Baptists to be a reawakened people and to look toward a realignment for the mission.

Today marks, for many, the beginning of a 40-day period of reflection, contemplation and prayer leading up to Palm Sunday. Christians of different traditions observe it in different ways. Some do not. Yet we all look forward to celebrating Resurrection Sunday!

It is important to consider how cooperation has changed and what cooperation needs to look like if we are going to be effective in the future.

February is here, and it seems that most everyone is returning to normal after dealing with snow and ice in some parts of our state and country.

In an effort to better align Texas Baptists ministries to equip churches for Great Commandment, Great Commission faithfulness, convention leadership is realigning the Center for Cultural Engagement, effective February 1. The ministries under the center will be redistributed to other teams across the organization to provide churches with more direct access to church, minister, and missions resources.
