Since our election as your Pastor Search Committee we have committed ourselves to prayerful discernment of the movement of God’s Spirit in our midst. Those prayers have been answered, and now we joyfully and unanimously present to you Reverend Steven T. Norris as candidate for the position of Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Griffin. As Senior Pastor, Steven will oversee the general welfare of the church, including worship, pastoral care, visioning, planning, ministries and the staff. As Senior Pastor, Steven will also continue to be the primary preacher/proclaimer at the Chapel and Connexion services, but with a commitment to preach in the Celebration service on a monthly basis. If elected to this position, Steven would immediately serve as the staff liaison with the appointed search committee to assess the current staffing needs of our church, clarify a plan for addressing those needs, and assist in filling a potential new staff position to best equip us moving forward.
We believe that Steven’s giftedness and calling will lead us effectively for years to come. He will serve First Baptist Church and the Griffin-Spalding community well as we live into our calling to be instruments of grace.
Your Pastor Search Committee,
Alice Blake, Nicholas Bland, Bonnie Brown, Tom Gardner, Brad Glass, Sallianne Hardwick, Brian McCartney, Megan Potter, and Ann Walker
