The "Council of Ten" are all pastors and Christian leaders who are elected to represent and serve the Sunshine Baptist Fellowship. The Council meets together throughout the year, in addition to overseeing our annual conference, retreats, workshops, and other state events.  These men all are busy with ministries of their own, but they generously give of their time and effort for the benefit of our state fellowship.
