Dr. Frank S. Page is president and chief executive officer of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee.
Page, who previously served as VP of Evangelization for the North American Mission Board, is a former Southern Baptist Convention president and was pastor of First Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C., for nine years before joining NAMB. He was also a member of the SBC’s Great Commission Resurgence Task Force and was named to President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships in February 2009.
It was during his 2006-2008 tenure as SBC president that Page called upon NAMB to lead the convention in a new evangelism initiative that would involve all Southern Baptists in an effort to sweep the continent with the Gospel. That initiative became GPS: God’s Plan for Sharing, which launched in the United States and Canada this spring.
A native of Robbins, N.C., Page holds a Ph.D. in Christian ethics focusing on moral, social and ethical issues from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, along with a master of divinity degree from Southwestern. He earned a bachelor of science degree with honors from Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina, majoring in psychology with minors in sociology and Greek.
