The Rev. Clint Pressley, who was pastor of the Dauphin Way Baptist Church in Mobile from 2004-2010, will be nominated for president of the Southern Baptist Convention at its June meeting, Baptist Press announced.
Pressley, senior pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte, N.C., since 2010, will be nominated during the June 11-12 meeting in Indianapolis, said the Rev. Chris Justice, senior pastor of Lee Park Baptist Church in Monre, N.C., who plans to nominate him.
“Clint Pressley loves the Southern Baptist Convention and the mission that holds us together,” Justice said in a news release. “I know him to be a man of conviction who is joyfully orthodox, devoted to the Great Commission, and committed to our cooperation as Southern Baptists.”
Hickory Grove Baptist Church has an average of 2,632 in worship attendance weekly.
Pressley was vice president of the SBC Pastors’ Conference in 2013, first vice president of the SBC from 2014-15, and a trustee for the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary since 2015, including serving as chairman.
“Clint has always served when called upon,” Justice said.
Pressley, a Charlotte native, graduated from Wofford College, has a master of divinity degree from New Orleans Seminary and a doctor of ministry degree from Southern Seminary in Louisville, Ky.
Pressley is the first announced presidential nominee for this year’s SBC annual meeting.
