Ed Hogan, pastor of Jersey Village Baptist Church in Houston, will be nominated for second vice president at the annual convention by Daniel Rivera, dean of instruction at Hispanic Seminary, San Antonio.

Hogan, 37, was pastor of First Church in Crockett, 1992-97, and First Church in Groom, 1989-92.

“I have two sons-in-law in pastorates in Houston,” Rivera said, “and I believe it is time to target young pastors in the state for leadership positions. They need to be seen and heard. They bring a fresh and relevant ministry perspective. I think the timing is right to elect a contemporary pastor to represent the views of these dynamic young men.”

Hogan said he has always appreciated the “breadth and depth” of the work of the BGCT and that his work on theE/E Committee had only increased it.

He was licensed and ordained by Mobberly Church, Longview, and is a graduate of the University of Texas. He earned master of divinity and doctor of ministry degrees at Southwestern Seminary.

Hogan and his wife, Marion, have a son, Matthew, and daughter, Amanda.
