The role of the South Carolina Baptist Convention’s Committee on Committees is to recommend the members of all the other committees. This committee serves to involve more people in the important work of filling vital roles in our cooperative efforts.
The Committee on Committees is selected by the outgoing president from the previous year. This group is comprised of members from churches of all sizes across the state, as stated in our bylaws. The Committee on Committees accepts nominations to fill vacancies on Standing Committees of the Convention. The length of service varies, but all terms begin on Jan. 1, 2025.

Each year, the South Carolina Baptist Convention Nominations Committee of the SCBaptist Convention is comprised of two members from each of the 12 geographic regions. The work of this team is invaluable for the process of ascertaining knowledgeable people to conduct the work of the Convention and our Ministry Partners.
Executive Board members serve four-year terms unless they are fulfilling an unexpired term. The number of members on the Executive Board has been in transition as the 2021 Bylaws amendments allowed natural attrition to bring the size down to 29 members (including the Convention President as a voting member of the Board).
Trustees serve five-year terms unless they are fulfilling an unexpired term. They are elected separately from the Executive Board nominees. All terms will begin on Jan. 1, 2025.

The Bylaws Committee presents amendments to the Bylaws, Part I, as a first reading in 2024. A vote to incorporate these amendments will be taken at the annual meeting in 2025. The changes update the term ‘affiliated’ to ‘in friendly cooperation’ in places it was overlooked in earlier updates. These changes are found in Part 1, Article VI. Proposed changes are indicated in bold font and strikethroughs.
