Garcia announces retirement;
Palos to lead Hispanic work
Jimmy Garcia retired Dec. 31 from his role leading Hispanic work for the Baptist General Convention of Texas, and Frank Palos will serve in that role during the interim.
“Jimmy served us faithfully for 18 years,” said Ron Gunter, BGCT chief operating officer and associate executive director.
“We are thankful for his service with us and for his continued ministry as pastor of Primera Iglesia Bautista in Dallas.”
Palos has worked on the BGCT staff 21 years, with his last position being associate coordinator of the Church Health and Growth Section.
“Frank has been closely involved with our Hispanic work in Texas for a number of years, and his understanding of that important aspect of our convention will be of great value during this interim period,” Gunter said.
Palos, a former pastor, holds a bachelor's degree from Southern Methodist University and a master's degree from Dallas Baptist University.
He also is a past officer of the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas.
