Pastor Robert Knight

Pastor Knight has served the convention with distinction over the last year. He has led with thoughtfulness and intentionality. I have appreciated his prayerfulness and his attention to detail. He is fair, insightful, and full of grace.

It is for these reasons that I encourage the Convention to consider him for a second term as president of our Convention.
Sincerely,
Pastor John Jakes
Calvary Baptist Indianola
