Jim Richards, Executive Director
The SBTC exists to facilitate, extend and enlarge the Great Commission ministries of the Southern Baptist Convention and Southern Baptist churches and associations of Texas, upon the authority of God’s inerrant Word to the glory of God the father, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
The SBTC exists to assist local churches in accomplishing the Great Commission. Biblical inerrancy is the foundation of our confessional fellowship. Exalting Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit to a lost world is our desire. As a network of churches we give, go and grow together.”
