NASHVILLE (BP) — The SBC Committee on Nominations has released its 2026 report in advance of the 2026 SBC Annual Meeting to be held June 9-10. Per SBC bylaws, the report is to be released through Baptist Press no later than 45 days prior to the gathering.

The 2026 committee was chaired by Jeff Moore, pastor of First Baptist Church, in Altus, Oklahoma.

“From our initial meeting and throughout the process, our stated goal was to seek God’s wisdom in every decision,” Moore said. “We also committed to selecting nominees best suited to serve the needs of each board or committee. I am honored to work with the Nominating Committee and grateful to God for their prayers, hard work, and dedication to the Lord. It is our committee’s prayer that each nominee will bring glory to God through faithful service to him in the work of the Southern Baptist Convention.”

Ninety-six new nominees were named in the initial report with a handful of vacancies yet to be filled by the committee. The final report will be printed in the 2026 Annual Meeting Tuesday Bulletin and brought as a slate for convention approval on Tuesday (June 9) morning.

The nominees include 10 women (10 percent) and 86 men (90 percent). The ethnic breakdown of the nominees includes 1 percent Native American 2 percent Asian, 4 percent Black, 6 percent Hispanic and 84 percent White/Anglo, with 2 percent opting not to share their ethnicity.
