KBF Leadership

Those who serve in leadership positions with the Kentucky Baptist Fellowship are nominated to serve by partner churches and individuals.  The past moderator of the KBF enlists these people to serve and they are elected by the voting body at the annual Spring Gathering of the Kentucky Baptist Fellowship. 

The Coordinating Council meets three times a year; March, KBF Spring Gathering (April) and August.  The Executive Committe meets semi-monthly with the KBF staff for planning and evaluation. Additional meetings for work groups are held separately in person or by conference call. 

If you would be interested in serving on a particular work group or on the coordinating council beginning in August of 2011, please contact John Lepper at john@kybf.org or call 502-426-1931.
