FRANKLIN — The board of directors of the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board met via Zoom on Nov. 11 to adopt a $35 million Cooperative Program allocation budget for 2020-21.

The cancelation of Summit 2020 due to COVID-19 forced the directors to act as Convention ad interim, in accordance of the Tennessee Baptist Convention’s Constitution and Bylaws.

Constitution Bylaw VI.A determines that “TBMB is responsible for conducting all activities on behalf of the Convention between the meetings of the Convention. The corporation shall discharge the powers and authority delegated to it by the Convention and the specific ministry responsibilities which the convention assigns to it by resolution, covenant, and by provisions in the Convention’s Constitution and Bylaws and Financial Plan.”

The budget includes an allocation of 47.5 percent to the SBC and 52.5 percent to the TBC. Due to the uncertain economy, the budget will have three stages. [Read more…]

Thanks to technology, COVID-19 did not wipe out the scheduled April meeting of the TBMB as an overwhelming majority of the board member joined a Zoom broadcast.

“This is a historical moment,” acknowledged Randy C. Davis, president and executive director of the TBMB.

Davis informed the board members that the meeting was primarily an informational meeting and that no action would be taken at this time. “We didn’t want to bring anything to the board to vote on at this time simply because we want to make sure that we have the capability electronically to do it in a manner that is in order.” [Read more…]
