INTRODUCING ... the Joel and Myndi Lawrence Family

The Pastoral Search Committee of Central Baptist Church is proud to announce that Joel Lawrence is being recommended to the Board of Stewards to be the next senior pastor of Central Baptist Church.

Joel and his family currently reside in the Shoreview, MN area and excitedly anticipate moving into Saint Paul sometime in 2013, pending the Call.

Joel and Myndi have four children, three girls and one boy. Bethany is the oldest at nearly 9 years of age, followed by twins Anna and Katherine who are 7. Micah is five and is good at getting into his sisters’ stuff.

Joel has been the lead teaching pastor at Calvary Church’s (Roseville, MN) north campus for the past four years. He has also served as associate professor of Theology at Bethel Seminary from 2005 to the present. Joel is excited to transition to where he feels most called—to be the shepherd of God’s flock as senior pastor of Central. They have a heart for people and most days/nights their home is filled with kids and families from around the community.

GREAT NEWS! Approved Candidate for the next Senior Pastor of Central Baptist Church

The Pastoral Search Committee met with the Central Baptist Church Board of Stewards on Monday November 19, 2012, to bring before the board a recommendation for the candidate for Senior Pastor. Dr. Joel W. Lawrence was introduced on paper and after a lengthy presentation and discussion, the recommendation to have Joel as the candidate for senior pastor was unanimously approved by the Board. The approved candidate was then announced at the Annual Meeting of the church on Sunday, November 25.

More information on Joel Lawrence and family will be provided in the next blog post.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support through this search process.
