To Promote and Preserve the History and the Heritage of the Free Will Baptist Denomination

2010 Historical Commission Report

The Historical Commission will distribute copies of the fourth in a series of historical pamphlets to delegates at the 2010 national convention. The pamphlet, "Free Will Baptists and the Priesthood of the Believer," was written by Kevin Hester, program coordinator for Biblical and Theological Studies at Free Will Baptist Bible College.

The Commission's fifth pamphlet, "Free Will Baptists and Predestination," to be written by Robert Picirilli, will be distributed at the 2011 national convention. The historical pamphlets can be purchased through Randal House Publications. The pamphlets are printed in a reader-friendly 5.5 by 8.5 format. Contact Randal House for packaging and pricing.

Commission member Robert Picirilli coordinated a project that resulted in mailing a flyer to pastors promoting the sale and use of Heritage Series pamphlets in local churches. ONE Magazine editor Eric Thomsen designed the mailer.

The Commission is working in an advisory capacity with the Executive Office to produce a video history of the first 75 years of the National Association of Free Will Bapitsits for the 2011 convention.
