The Southern Baptist Vocational Evangelist

The men and women who are included in this directory are members of Southern Baptist Churches and have

been called into the ministry as full-time vocational evangelists.

A vocational evangelist is not a pastor of a church. A vocational evangelist is not employed as a church staff

member with primary responsibilities to that church. Vocational evangelists are usually not financially

independent; they are in a faith ministry which is supported by love offerings.

Some of the areas included in their ministries are evangelistic crusades, revival meetings, and Bible

conferences. Some have more than one type of ministry (i.e., music and ventriloquism), but each is

supportive of the local church.

The Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelists is not an official organization with powers to recommend and /or

discipline its members. Members of the Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelists are:

    * full-time vocational evangelists.

    * members in good standing of a Southern Baptist church in Texas.

    * residents of the State of Texas.

    * current in their dues for the year.

Each church, in its sovereignty and subject to no power or authority of the Convention, ordains and licenses

ministers and calls and employs pastors and staff. The Southern Baptist Convention and other Baptist

organizations independent of the Convention select their own chaplains, missionaries, evangelists and staff.

Consequently, inclusion in this directory is not necessarily an endorsement.
