Kentucky approves Georgetown College plan

Kentucky Baptist Convention messengers voted overwhelmingly to approve a new ministry partnership with Georgetown College.

Meeting Nov. 15-16, they also elected conservative pastors to the KBC’s top three posts, defeating three moderate pastors endorsed by Mainstream Baptists of Kentucky.

The Georgetown agreement specifies that the school will begin electing its own trustees in 2006 and that the convention will phase out Georgetown’s $1.3 million Cooperative Program allocation over the next four years. The plan also specifies that 75 percent of Georgetown’s trustees will be Kentucky Baptists.
