In 1983, Dr. Haynes accepted the call to ministry and became Senior Pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church. Since his appointment, the church has grown numerically and in ministry to the Dallas community and around the world. Under Dr. Haynes’ leadership, Friendship-West has moved three times to accommodate its growth and moved to its present site on Wheatland Road on January 1, 2006. Dr. Haynes also serves in various leadership capacities in organizations that champion social change and education and are dedicated to the advancement of those in underserved and minority communities. In 2003, he founded the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference along with Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. and Dr. Iva E. Carruthers and currently serves as co-chairman of the board. The conference is a national organization of pastors, activists and community leaders committed to social justice by nurturing, sustaining, and mobilizing the African American faith community and working in collaboration with civic, corporate, and philanthropic leaders to address critical needs of human and social injustice within local, national, and global communities.
