ROANOKE — Roanoke pastor Kevin Meadows will be nominated for second vice president of the Baptist General Association of Virginia during its annual meeting next month.
Traci Powers, pastor of Westhaven Baptist Church in Portsmouth, Va., said Sept. 28 she will nominate Meadows when the
BGAV meets in Roanoke Nov. 13-14. Meadows — at this point the only announced candidate for second vice president — has been senior pastor of Grandin Court Baptist Church in Roanoke for the past 12 years.
BGAV second vice presidents also serve as second vice chairs of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board and as ex officio members of the BGAV’s program committee. In addition, they join the president and first vice president in naming members of the BGAV’s committee on boards and committees.
A native of North Carolina, Meadows is a graduate of North Carolina State University. He holds a master of divinity degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a doctor of ministry degree from Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond.
He also serves as a regional church consultant, assisting churches to engage the challenges of the missional church, and has participated in mission activities in the Czech Republic, India, Kenya and Nicaragua.
Meadows’s wife, Cindy, is an ordained minister and a hospital chaplain with Carilion Clinic in Roanoke. The couple has two college-aged children.
