Dockery, Wyatt lead
slate of new EC officers
DALLAS (BP) — SBC Executive Committee members elected new leaders and passed several recommendations for final approval by messengers. Tony Dockery, senior pastor of St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church in La Puente, Calif., was the lone nominee for the chair position. He was elected vice chair in 2023, when Philip Robertson, pastor of Philadelphia Baptist Church in Deville, La., became chair for the first of his two terms. Dockery will officially assume the role after this year’s SBC Annual Meeting. Adam Wyatt, senior pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Monticello, Miss., was elected vice-chair, and Nancy Spalding, a CPA and member of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Roseville, Mich., was elected for a second term as secretary.
