Replant Team
In this season of revitalization, the congregation of Bayless Baptist has temporarily entrusted oversight and direction of the church to the Replant Team, working in conjunction with Pastor Evan Skelton. This team is composed of pastors of healthy churches around St. Louis as well as members within the congregation, and as Bayless grows to once again be self-governing and self-sustaining, these members will be replaced with pastor-elders from within the congregation.
