JEFFERSON CITY—Joe Ulveling, Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) family ministries specialist, has been placed over a web-based resource center that was previously recommended by an Organizational Study Group (OSG) report, MBC Interim Executive Director Jay Hughes announced Sept. 8.
Ulveling’s job is being realigned so that he can focus on the resource center, Hughes said. The goal is to work more closely with churches and associations by building an online hub to provide them with information. Hughes also announced plans to redo the MBC website by Jan. 1, 2012.
“A big part of the new website, what we’re going to be going to, is going to be centered around this resource center,” Hughes said.
Spencer Hutson, the team leader who supervises Ulveling on the Church Ministries team, this summer facilitated the research and development work that led to Hughes’ resource center announcement at In-Office Day. This was largely done under the heading of “online/media” in conjunction with Media/Tech and Communications groups. The resource center language that Hughes is using in the Baptist Building right now consists of “people,” “products,” and “partners.”
The realignment of Ulveling’s job and the plans that Hughes has for a resource center team will go before the MBC Executive Board’s Administrative Committee on Oct. 13, the interim executive director said.
It is not known how the arrival of a new state executive director will impact the future of the resource center.
