In recognition of the Baptist Women in Ministry Month of Advocacy, we are delighted to welcome Andrea Johnson to the pulpit. Andrea is a CBF of Georgia Lancaster Scholar studying at the McAfee School of Theology, and the winner of the 2022 John R. Claypool Excellence in Preaching Award. She serves with CBF Global as the Suzii Paynter March Advocacy Fellow, dedicated to advocacy in public education.

Auburn First Baptist has a long history of recognizing the calling of women to leadership and ministry, ordaining Leland Cooper as its first woman deacon in 1974.
