As a Northern Virginia megachurch’s pastor stepped down, International Mission Board (IMB) President David Platt has stepped up to serve as interim pastor.
Lon Solomon, who served as pastor of McLean Bible Church (with five campuses) for 36 years, announced his decision in February and Platt shared his first message Feb. 26.
IMB spokeswoman Julie McGowan said, “Dr. Platt and IMB trustees mutually agree that it would be a good, wise and right use of his time to be a part of leadership in a local Southern Baptist church,” according to The Christian Post. (TAB)
