EULESS, Texas — John Meador, pastor of First Baptist Church, Euless, Texas will be nominated by Tennessee pastor Steve Gaines to serve as president of the 2016 Southern Baptist Pastors Conference.

Gaines, pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, announced May 5 that he would nominate Meador.

“John Meador is a man of God and a very capable leader in his church, his state, and the Southern Baptist Convention,” Gaines said.

“In this crucial day when our Southern Baptist churches are seeking to be a catalyst for revival in America, John Meador brings seasoned leadership as a veteran pastor,” Gaines continued.

The Memphis-area pastor added that Meador has led FBC, Euless, “to be an epicenter for prayer, personal evangelism, and spiritual awakening. He loves the Lord, he loves people, and he loves Southern Baptists.”

Meador has been pastor of Euless for the past eight years. He is a former chairman of the board of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention and is a trustee of the Southern Baptist Convention International Board.

Gaines said that one of the most appealing aspects about Meador “is his love and respect for all Southern Baptists.”

He observed that Meador is committed to keeping “the main thing” of evangelism and revival as the focal point of his tenure as president if elected.

Culture has abandoned Jesus and is in a state of moral and spiritual decline, Gaines noted.

“Meador will help lead Southern Baptists to engage our culture with the gospel of Jesus and will follow SBC President Ronnie Floyd’s lead by focusing on spiritual awakening and fulfilling the Great Commission,” he added.
