The Baptist Network Northwest installed Joe Parkinson as its new executive director. The fellowship welcomed Joe into this key ministry at its Refine Conference, hosted by Whitney Bible Church, Boise, Idaho, April 24–25. Joe also spoke during an evening session of the conference, which featured the theme “Growing Leaders.”
Joe served on the BNN’s regional council since 1995. So “over the last 30 years, he’s had the privilege of working alongside former directors,” the BNN says. “He steps into the role following Dave Lunsford’s retirement in August 2024.”
“Joe now carries the baton of leadership, serving with the Council of 15 and the regional fellowships,” the BNN says. “His focus includes leadership development, church revitalization, church planting, and internship development. . . .
“He and his wife, Caryl, are eager to walk alongside us” and “are passionate about strengthening the work of Christ in our fellowship to make a greater impact for Him across the Pacific Northwest.”
