TBC welcomes three to serve as Tri-Chair leaders

Over the past 10 years Texas Baptists Committed has had two people share the load of leadership serving as co-chairs. TBC has always had the desire to have a broad base of shared leadership. This year three persons have been elected to serve, sharing mutual responsibilities for guiding TBC. Billy Spencer, Jaclanel McFarland and John Cash Smith will contribute articles to the newsletter. Each will serve on the administrative committee and preside at executive committee meetings and other TBC gatherings. TBC also has an advisory board consisting of over 1,600 members.

Spencer is the pastor of First Baptist Church, Brady, Texas. McFarland is an attorney and member of South Main Baptist Church, Houston, Texas. Smith is an attorney and member of First Baptist Church, Orange, Texas. They succeed Jerold McBride, pastor of FBC, San Angelo and Rudy Sanchez, pastor of Primera Iglesia Baptista, Dallas.

"I believe all TBC members are excited to have the excellent leadership that Billy Spencer, Jaclanel McFarland and John Cash Smith will provide in the coming year. Each has made numerous stands for traditional Baptist principles and practices," commented David Currie, coordinator of TBC.
