Ministry Partner Trustees serve five-year terms. One-fifth (1/5) of the trustees retire from each board every year. As of 2021, Ministry Partner Boards must maintain an 80/20 ratio from either group of ordained members or laity. New trustees must attend an orientation meeting at the Convention Building each year. This meeting typically is held in February or March.
Our nomination process uses DocuSign electronic forms. Nominators only need to complete the Nomination Form, then the candidates or nominees will finalize the process by submitting the appropriate supporting forms.
Trustee Expectations and Consent to Serve Plus Conflict of Interest
The Executive Board members serve four-year terms. The full Board meets three times a year: April, October, and December. Board members are encouraged to attend the Convention's Annual Meeting in November. Membership of the board is divided into two groups—ordained members and laity. The Board must maintain an 80/20 ratio between the two groups. The Executive Board constitutes the Board of Directors of the South Carolina Baptist Convention and details are published online in the Convention Bylaws.
