The SC Baptist Convention Executive Board’s Administrative Committee this week approved a recommendation from Dr. Jim Austin to hire Mark Powers as director of the Worship & Music office. Powers is currently serving as Associate Pastor for Music and Worship at First Baptist Church North Augusta.

“It is a wonderful privilege for me to be hired as Director for Worship and Music of the SC Baptist Convention…Following in the footsteps of my good friends Tom Westmoreland and Jim Gill, I pray that my service to the churches will make an eternal difference in the lives of many for the glory of God. I long for your prayers as we journey together,” said Powers.
