SBTS Professor to be Nominated as KBC First VP
09/28/2009
Adam Greenway
Greenway, 31, is assistant professor of evangelism and applied apologetics at Southern’s Billy Graham School of Missions and Evangelism, and associate vice president for extension education and applied ministries. He will be nominated by Bill Henard, pastor of Porter Memorial Baptist Church in Lexington.
Henard described Greenway as “one of our up-and-coming young leaders,” adding that “his talents and potential as a leader are being recognized by others in the convention.”
“Adam has a servant’s heart and has been willing to serve Kentucky Baptists regardless of the position,” noted Henard, who served as KBC president in 2007-08. He and Greenway co- edited the book “Evangelicals Engaging Emergent: A Discussion of the Emergent Church Movement” which was released earlier this year.
As a self-proclaimed member of the “younger pastor” group in Kentucky, Greenway said he wants “to reach out to younger leaders and show that the KBC really is trying to bridge the generations in seeking what we can do together to reach our state with the gospel.”
His role as a seminary professor, he said, allows him the opportunity to encourage students “to understand the role of the state convention, to get involved in the state convention (and) to see the state convention as a viable and valuable partner for the sake of the gospel.”
Prior to joining Southern Seminary in 2007, Greenway was pastor of The Baptist Church at Andover in Lexington for five years. He currently is a member of the KBC’s Committee on Constitution and Bylaws, and recently was named chairman of the ad hoc committee that will study the size of the convention’s Mission Board. He is a graduate of Southern Seminary, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and Samford University in Birmingham, Ala.
Greenway is a member of First Baptist Church of Mount Washington. The church gave 8 percent of undesignated receipts to the Cooperative Program and reported 66 baptisms in 2007-08, according to the KBC’s 2008 Annual Church Profile statistics.
The Kentucky Baptist Convention is a cooperative missions and ministry organization made up of nearly 2.400 autonomous Baptist churches in Kentucky. A variety of state and worldwide ministries are coordinated through its administrative offices in Louisville, including: missions work, disaster relief, ministry training and support, church development, evangelism and more.
