Welcome

                               
       The Baptist Pastors Conference of
              Columbus and Vicinity, Inc.

            The Office Of The President

  
   Greetings,

   Thank you for taking the time to visit the  
   Baptist Pastors Conference of Columbus and  
   Vicinity website.

  Our theme is "Pursuing Pastoral Excellence in
   a Season of Change".

   Not only is there change in the White House, but there is change in our own local
   communities, churches and even our families.

   The reality is, we are living through the challenges of the COVID 19 pandemic,
   systemic racism, economic inequities and social injustice. In Columbus alone, the
   rise in homicides, opiate overdoses and the killing of black men by law
   enforcement are challenging us in ways we have never seen before.

   God is calling us to pursue excellence and to rise to be agents of change in our
   church, community and beyond. In response to this undeniable season of change,
   we as pastors must pursue excellence because the status quo no longer works.
   Pastoral excellence requires personal empowerment, prophetic impact and
   public engagement.

   I am humbled and honored to lead this crucial work with the distinguished pastors
   of the Baptist Pastors Conference of Columbus and Vicinity (BPCCV). I am grateful
   to our immediate past president Pastor Fredrick LaMarr for his faithfulness and
   leadership. On behalf of the officers and members of the BPCCV, we invite you to
   participate in our events and activities scheduled throughout the year.

   May God's grace and mercy continue to cover and keep you in the days ahead.

   Pursing Pastoral Excellence,

   Dr. Howard T. Washington
   President
