DALLAS (ABP) — David Nabors has resigned as treasurer and chief financial officer of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. The resignation will become effective April 15.
“We needed a change as it relates to the coming of a new executive director and moving forward to greater hope and possibilities,” said Jan Daehnert, the BGCT's interim executive director. “We want to look forward to reaching people for Christ in effective and fiscally-responsible ways.”
Daehnert said Nabors' resignation is a turn in Texas Baptist history. In recent months, convention Chief Operating Officer Ron Gunter resigned and Executive Director Charles Wade retired. Randel Everett will begin as the convention's executive director March 31.
In a letter to Daehnert, Nabors expressed gratitude for his time on the BGCT staff.
“I cherish and thank the Lord for the six years I have been able to serve the Baptists of Texas in this calling,” he wrote. “Many life-long friendships have been made during my tenure, and I especially appreciate the staff for their hard work and support.”
Daehnert said he is working on plans for the transition period between Nabors and the next chief financial officer.
