Ron F. Hale—Interim Associational Mission Strategist
It is a joy serving the congregations of SBA in this interim capacity! We are one association covering two counties with a river running through it. Across that river is a bridge connecting us geographically. However, we are the “spiritual bridge” connecting lost people to Jesus in our area! Partnering and praying together, we are more effective than going it alone!
I grew up in Jackson, TN and graduated from South Side High School in 1971. I became a Christian at the age of 23 and surrendered to ministry one-year later. While attending Union University, I pastored Lutts Baptist Church, south of Savannah.
My places of ministry include:
§ Pastored in Olathe, KS (suburb of KC) for nine years.
§ Church Starter Strategist (HMB/NAMB) in Kansas City area for 5 years.
§ Director of Missions in Pittsburgh, PA for 3 years
§ Associate Executive Director (Evangelism/Church Planting) for Illinois Baptists, 9 years.
§ Twelve years on pastoral staff of West Jackson Baptist Church, Jackson, TN.
§ Interim pastor of: Maple Springs Baptist, Mercer; Old Friendship Baptist in Finger; and New Home Baptist in Henderson.
SBA, Better Together!
