Bill McConnell, immediate past deacon chair at Knoxville’s Central Baptist Church of Bearden, will be recommended for election at the CBF General Assembly June 20-23 in Fort Worth, Texas.
If elected he will serve a first year as moderator-elect and then succeed Missouri pastor Keith Herron as moderator in 2013-14. The current moderator is Colleen Burroughs, executive vice president of Passport. The immediate-past moderator, South Carolina minister Christy McMillin-Goodwin, chaired the nominating committee that tapped McConnell.
