Pastor Connections: Church finances; ‘our greatest blessings’; SBC’s trajectory | The Alabama Baptist

To read a quick recap of some of the latest stories that were also shared in a recent Pastor Connections email (subscribe here) from TAB Media Group, see below.

3. While challenges remain, the Southern Baptist Convention is on a “healthier trajectory,” Jeff Iorg noted during the recent SBC Executive Committee’s meeting in Nashville.


EDITOR’S NOTE — These stories were compiled by The Baptist Paper.
