Matthew 28:16-20 New Living Translation
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, who holds all authority in heaven and on earth, grant that as we hear Your Great Commission, we may worship You with honest hearts and follow You with willing lives.
By Your Spirit, make us faithful disciples, teaching and living all You have commanded, trusting that You are with us always. Amen.

Leadership & Organizational Structure
As God continues to bless our congregation with many new faces, we felt it would be helpful to share a clear overview of our church’s governance structure. This serves not only to inform those who are new to our fellowship, but also to remind our long‑term parishioners of how our leadership is organized. If you have any questions, please see Pastor Eddie. The following is our leadership and organizational structure:
Tuxedo Park Baptist Church
1. Pastoral Leadership
The Pastor serves as the chief executive leader of Tuxedo Park Baptist Church. The Pastor oversees daily operations, provides spiritual leadership, supervises ministry activities, and ensures that the mission of the church is carried out with excellence and integrity.
2. Board of Directors
The Pastor is accountable to an elected Board of Directors consisting of four members, each serving a four‑year term. The Board functions as a representative body on behalf of the congregation.
Responsibilities of the Board
- Setting the vision of the church in partnership with the Pastor
- Approving annual budgets
- Providing accountability and support to the Pastor
- Meeting quarterly with the Pastor to review ministry progress and organizational health
Current Board Members
- Winnie Gill
- Pedro Munoz
- Brenda Ramsey
- Debra Woods
The congregation votes to approve the final yearly fiscal budget.
3. Financial Leadership
The Treasurer/Comptroller, Vernon Ramsey, works closely with the Pastor to develop the annual budget, monitor financial activity, and ensure transparency and accuracy in all financial matters, supporting responsible stewardship of the church’s resources.
4. Lay Leadership & Ministry Teams
The strength and vitality of Tuxedo Park Baptist Church are rooted in its committed lay leadership. Ministry teams provide hands‑on leadership in key areas of congregational life and support the overall mission of the church.
Ministry Teams
- Building & Grounds — Led by Vernon Ramsey
- Christian Education — Led by John Ramsey
- Fellowship Ministry — Currently without a team leader
- Missions Ministry — Led by Carol Munoz
- Worship Ministry — Led by Pastor Eddie Smith
These teams ensure that the ministries of the church remain vibrant, mission‑focused, and responsive to the needs of the congregation and community.
