Meet Mark Lamprecht

Next up, Mark Lamprecht.  I have enjoyed interacting with Mark over the last few weeks and I am excited about working with him here at SBC Voices!

 

1)  How Long Have You Been in the SBC?  What Is Your Current Role in the SBC?

 I’ve been in the SBC for about six years.  During the first two I spent half of that time as a “minister to students”.  I left that church and attended another SBC church off and on which ended up being a year.  I finally returned to the SBC three years ago to stay.  I was always around the SBC though  

My role is co-chairing our men’s ministry, leading a small-group and substitute teaching Sunday School.  I am also meeting with my pastor twice a month in an effort to discern my pursuit of full-time ministry.  

 

2)  What do you most love about the SBC?

The combined efforts of doing missions work.  Isn’t this why the SBC exists? 

 

3)  What one area of the SBC would you like to become stronger/healthier?

I would like the SBC to focus more on the local church with the Convention sitting more in the background.  For every Johnny Hunt that speaks at the annual convention, and various other events, I would also like the Bob Smiths who pastor small/unknown churches to be given a platform. (No offense to the Bobs or Smiths out there.)   This goes for our seminaries as well with the local church being more the focus.

 

4)  Historically, Who Is Your Favorite Southern Baptist?

I’m not very good with favorites whether it’s Southern Baptists or ice cream.  So I’ll take two scoops, please.  I’ll eat one now and one later when the time is right.
