About The Council | Print |  E-mail

Founded nearly fifty years ago by concerned members of the clergy, The Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity is an organization dedicated to offering sound leadership in every field of community endeavor.

The Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity during the tenure of former President Dr. Joseph Jordan launched a new media initiative. This initiative is aimed at informing, educating, and ministering through media to the congregations which are served by the hundreds of Pastors who comprise the Council membership. The Baptist Times Publishing Company Inc. has been formed as the nexus of the media initiative. Through the efforts of the publishing company, The Baptist Times Magazine has been created. The publication will focus on a variety of issues including the Councils' position on education, health care, law enforcement and economics.
