Greer
FRANKLIN — Sam Greer, pastor of Red Bank Baptist Church, Chattanooga, will be nominated to serve as president-elect of the 2025 Tennessee Baptist Pastors Conference.
Chuck Herring, pastor of First Baptist Church, Collierville, announced July 24 that he would nominate Greer.
He noted that Greer was called to preach while attending First Baptist Church, Richland, Miss., while Herring was serving as pastor.
“Over the ensuing years, I have served as his mentor. I know him well and I think he would do a great job of leading the Pastors Conference. This young man loves the church, and he is devoted to the faithful exposition of God’s Word.
“He has impeccable integrity and strong biblical convictions. Knowing Sam as I do, I can assure you that he will put together an outstanding lineup of preachers that will challenge and encourage the pastors of Tennessee,” Herring said.
As pastor of Red Bank Baptist for the past 12 years, Greer has led the congregation to connect people to Jesus, one conversation at a time. More recently, he led them to strategically merge with the former Signal Mountain Baptist Church to plant The Point Church at Signal.
Greer is the author of several books on the subject of gospel conversations and is a trustee of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Herring said he would be remiss if he didn’t highlight Greer’s family. “He and Tonya are deeply in love with each other and with their Lord. God has blessed them with two precious daughters and a son who loves their dad and mom. Tennessee Baptist pastors can and will be proud of the Greer family.” B&R
