The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Georgia stands with our CBF churches and partners in our conviction that God calls women and men equally into all areas of church leadership.

“God equally calls women and men to all places of leadership in the church, including preaching, pastoral leadership and as senior pastor.”

As we prepare to gather for 2026 General Assembly next week in Jacksonville, CBF Executive Coordinator Paul Baxley reaffirms our commitment to the Fellowship since its beginning 35 years ago: God calls and gifts women and men alike for ministry leadership.
