Jason Meyer to Replace John Piper at Bethlehem Baptist Church

Former Louisiana College (L.C.) professor and current Bethlehem College & Seminary professor Dr. Jason Meyer has been unanimously approved by the elders of Bethlehem Baptist Church to replace Dr. John Piper. Meyer still must be approved by a congregational vote. According to TGC:

The vote will come in two stages: (1) on May 20, 2012, the congregation will vote on him as associate pastor for preaching and vision, beginning that role on August 1, 2012; (2) then, as Piper’s pastoral ministry draws to an end, there will be a vote for Meyer as pastor for preaching and vision.

John Piper recently wrote this about Meyer:

I joyfully and expectantly commend him to you with all my heart. Not only because of a long list of gifts and graces and competencies, but also because I believe God has chosen him and anointed him for this role. May the Lord confirm this with a hope-filled, happy, unified vote of the Bethlehem family.

Though I came to Louisiana College the semester following Meyer’s leaving L.C., my fellow students have talked more about Jason Meyer than any other professor at the college. He made a huge impact in the lives of so many Louisiana College students and while it is surprising that a former Louisiana College professor is potentially replacing John Piper, the fact that it is Jason Meyer replacing such a man as John Piper makes much sense.
