We are sad to hear of the passing of our former president Doyle Sager, lead pastor at FBC in Jefferson City. Please keep his family and the church in your prayers.

Here is a statement from Brian W. Ford, Churchnet executive director, who is in the picture with Doyle during a special Baptist World Alliance worship service in 2018 at Grossmunster church in Zurich, Switzerland, where Reformation leader Huldrych Zwingli was pastor:

The Churchnet family grieves the loss of our good friend and colleague, Doyle Sager. For our organization, Doyle held many leadership roles including board member and president. His leadership was a key to the transformation of what the organization has become to this day. His leadership was gracious, efficient, and influential in keeping our mission focused on serving churches by fostering collaboration and hope for engaging new generations and cultures.

He graciously shared his lived experiences from his rich professional ministry career serving local churches throughout Missouri. He understood the complexities of doing and being the local church in our local and global context. Over the years, Doyle helped serve as a Churchnet representative to the global Baptist family with the Baptist World Alliance. It was a joy to watch him network and foster global relationships among leaders from multiple nations and cultures. Although Doyle was hesitant to stay up late, try spicy foods, and swim in the Dead Sea, he was a true churchman and global citizen of God’s kingdom. Doyle has left an indelible mark on our organization and our global partners, for which we are very grateful.
