Southern Baptists Finally Name New Executive Committee President Iorg is the Executive Committee’s first permanent leader since 2021 and its third since 2018. His predecessor, Ronnie Floyd, resigned in October 2021 after a two-year tenure overshadowed by the SBC’s sexual abuse crisis. Floyd’s predecessor, Frank Page, resigned in 2018 for misconduct. Finding a new leader for the committee was an arduous process. Committee members had hoped to approve a different candidate—Georgia Baptist leader Thomas Hammond—in February, but Hammond withdrew at the last moment. In May of 2023, the committee voted down Texas pastor Jared Wellman, a former Executive Committee trustee, as a candidate for the top job. Some trustees had been concerned that Wellman had served as chair of the Executive Committee and was on the search committee before becoming a candidate.

As we have prayed with and for him since last weekend, we have watched God do a miracle this week in raising him up for this hour of leadership in America.” - Ronnie Floyd 10/26/23 April 18, 2023: Baptist Press: SBC leaders, former presidents react to death of Charles Stanley

November 14, 2024: Floyd wrote at the Washington Times: The church’s participation in the voting process is the first step in answering this moment in American history. The church cannot ever play dead in the public square. Furthermore, if the election had gone the other way, the church would still need to answer this moment. While we thank God for America and love our nation, our allegiance is ultimately to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ, whom we believe to be the Savior of the world. We must approach issues in the public square and everywhere else with a biblical worldview. The Bible is our ultimate authority for faith and practice, and Jesus alone is our King. “Due to my personal integrity and the leadership responsibility entrusted to me, I will not and cannot any longer fulfill the duties placed upon me as the leader of the executive, fiscal, and fiduciary entity of the SBC.”
