The committee will be chaired by trustee Robert G. McDonald of Simpsonville. Trustees named to the committee are:

  • The Rev. William S. Cain, Louisville, Ga., Pastor, Louisville ARP Church
  • The Rev. Mark McDowell, Columbia, Assistant Minister, First Presbyterian Church
  • The Rev. Peter Waid, Spartanburg, Pastor, Spartanburg ARP Church
  • The Rev. Bert Welch, Lancaster, Senior Pastor, Covenant Baptist Church
