Southern Baptist Convention President Clint Pressley has announced his appointments to the 2026 Committee on Committees. The announcement comes in accordance with SBC Bylaw 19, which calls for providing notice to Southern Baptists of the appointees at least 45 days in advance of the Annual Meeting. The committee is composed of 68 members, two from each of the 34 states and regions qualified for representation.
Pressley, pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church, Charlotte, North Carolina, has named Cory Horton, pastor, Brushy Creek Baptist, Taylors, South Carolina, as chair; and Mat Alexander, First Baptist, Gadsden, Alabama, as vice chair.
The Committee on Committees is tasked with nominating members to serve on the 2026-2027 Committee on Nominations. The committee will meet between now and the 2026 SBC Annual Meeting to prepare its report to the Convention. Horton is scheduled to present the committee’s slate of nominees to messengers during the Tuesday morning session of the SBC Annual Meeting, June 9-10, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. The committee’s report will be published in the Tuesday Bulletin.
