SUMMARY:Forces for Good Summit
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\nChristians are called by God to be forces for good in our broken world. In Matthew 5\, Jesus tells us to “let your light shine before others\, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (Matt 5:16 CSB).  A culture of goodness flows from our churches when each of us faithfully live out this calling in light of the hope we have in the gospel. \nWe must live out this God-given calling in every area of ministry – even in areas like: \nGovernance\, Financial Policies\, Technology\, Security Measures\, Risk Management\, Abuse Prevention Measures\, Leadership\, People Management\, and Insurance Policies. Intentional pursuit of Christ-honoring practices in these often overlooked areas of ministry supports\, enables\, and steward the work of the church\, ultimately leading to human flourishing as intended by God. \nBut what does it mean to be a force for good in these areas? How do we support and contribute to a culture of goodness in our churches that makes them bright lights to our watching world? \nJoin this gathering of executive and denominational leaders focused around organizational health and the role of holistic stewardship in making our churches and Christian ministries forces for good in our world. As we answer God’s call as Christians to be lights to the world\, we must consider how the leadership and administration of our ministries shape culture and how that culture impacts the brightness of our light. \nDon’t miss this full day summit with leaders from denominations\, associations\, and networks working together with industry leaders to innovate how to be forces for good in all aspects of our churches and organizations. \nWho’s Invited?\nPastors\, executive pastors\, children and youth directors and anyone that serves NextGen. \nDate/Time:\nFebruary 24\, 6:00 p.m. – February 25\, 2026 8:30 p.m. CST \nLocation:\nAll sessions to take place on the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the Ray I. Riley Center. \nSouthwestern Baptist Theological Seminary:\n2001 W Seminary Dr.\, Fort Worth\, TX \nLearn more about this meeting location here. \nLodging:\nHotels near the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary can be found here. \nSpeakers:\n\nDr. Jeff Iorg\, President/CEO of the SBC Executive Committee\nBrad Hill\, President of Gloo Media Network\nKatie McCoy\, Strategy Director at Vista One Group\nKen Sande\, Founder of Peacemaker Ministries\nBrad Eubank\, Lead Pastor at Petal First Baptist Church in Mississippi\nJohn Murphy\, Vice President of Business Development at Artex Risk Solutions\nAnd more!\n\nView a full list of Forces for Good speakers here. \nCost:\nGeneral Admission: $199 \nGeneral Admission + Peacemakers Dinner: $209 \nPeacemaker Dinner General Admission (Tuesday Night Only): $30 \n*There is a special discount code for state conventions!

SUMMARY:SBC Annual Meeting and Pastors' Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 SBC Annual Meeting and Pastors’ Conference are scheduled for June 11-14\, 2023\, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans* on the bank of the Mississippi River and Port of New Orleans. Hotel reservations open in October 2022. With preparations underway\, leaders are promising it to be a gathering that accomplishes all the necessary business with a healthy dose of laissez les bons temps rouler (“let the good times roll”). \nSBC Annual Meeting website \nSBC Pastor’s Conference website \nAbout the 2023 Meeting\n“I couldn’t be more excited to help show off the Kingdom work happening in the New Orleans metro area\,” said Jay Adkins\, lead pastor of First Baptist Church in Westwego and chair of the local arrangements committee. “All the history\, music\, art\, food and good times are waiting. So are the souls of those my brothers and sisters will engage with the Gospel for those days in June of 2023. Please be praying now for fertile ground as you look forward to joining us in the ‘northernmost Caribbean city.’ \nA Visit NOLA website provides messengers and guests information on activities\, restaurants and family entertainment options as well as missions and ministry opportunities. It also includes background on the city and a welcome from Jamie Dew\, president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. \nFred Luter’s election to become the Convention’s first Black president marked the historic 2012 New Orleans annual meeting\, the last time Southern Baptists gathered there. Luter is in his 37th year as pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans. \nDew joined other Baptist leaders in expressing his excitement for next year’s gathering. \n“NOBTS is thrilled to welcome Southern Baptists to our great city in 2023\,” he said. “We want to encourage Southern Baptists to come early or stay late to take in the rich food and culture of New Orleans. We can’t wait to have you here with us and show you all God is doing on our campus and in our city.” \n“We’re expecting 10\,000-12\,000 messengers in New Orleans next year and possibly over 15\,000 in total attendance\,” said Jonathan Howe\, EC vice president for Communications. “The original selection of Charlotte reflected the annual meeting attendance at the time. The change to New Orleans simply reflects the current math.” \nHowe\, a Louisiana native\, said “The Road to New Orleans” will premiere in January. The 20-part video series will provide greater insights into the annual meeting’s setting as it did in 2021 with “The Road to Nashville” and this year’s “The Road to Anaheim.” \nLocal Baptist efforts in preparation won’t slow down\, Adkins said. \n“[Executive Director] Jack Hunter and [business manager] Alex Brian are hard at work organizing our New Orleans Baptist Association of Churches (NOBA) to be ready to help host next year’s convention\,” he said. “We are looking forward to sharing about our five medical clinics and our numerous local ministry and mission sites.” \n*Executive Committee members voted April 28 to move the 2023 Annual Meeting from Charlotte to New Orleans due to the growth in attendance of recent gatherings.

SUMMARY:Global Hunger Sunday
DESCRIPTION:The last few years have witnessed world-changing events that have disrupted supply chains and limited access to food for many people. Southern Baptists will\, on Aug. 28\, recognize Global Hunger Sunday to raise support for those in need. \nFor 44 years\, Southern Baptists have been raising funds to combat hunger around the globe. Originally started in 1978 as the World Hunger Fund\, Global Hunger Relief is dedicated to the fight to minimize world hunger and to sharing the gospel of Christ. \nGlobal Hunger Sunday is a great opportunity for churches to promote an offering to support Global Hunger Relief. Send Relief\, the compassion ministry arm of Southern Baptists\, helps to promote and distribute the offering each year. \nSend Relief focuses on five key areas: strengthen communities\, care for refugees\, protect children and families\, fight human trafficking and respond to crisis. The ministry sets up specific funds for these focus areas\, creates funds for specific projects and receives general donations to support compassion ministry efforts around the world. \nGenerosity toward Global Hunger Relief helps respond to crisis by meeting hunger-related needs in various ways. When famine or natural disaster strikes\, gifts to Global Hunger Relief provide resources for missionaries and other ministry partners to give food during those times of crisis. \nEfforts also include projects with a longer focus to offer sustainable solutions to chronic hunger. Missionaries and ministry partners will provide job skills training\, livestock and seed distribution\, clean water\, home reconstruction as well as medical care. \nIn 2021\, Southern Baptists gave $3.5 million through Global Hunger Relief\, and 100 percent of those gifts go toward meeting hunger needs with 20 percent going to needs in North America and 80 going toward international hunger needs. \nTo learn more about Global Hunger Relief\, visit globalhungerrelief.org\, and for resources designed to help churches recognize Global Hunger Sunday\, visit here. \nRead more about Global Hunger Sunday and how you can give by visiting the Baptist Press’s website.

SUMMARY:SBC annual meeting registration opens
DESCRIPTION:Each church should send the maximum number of messengers allowed to the 2020 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando in June\, SBC Executive Committee president Ronnie Floyd told Baptist Press Jan. 14. \n“I want to encourage every Southern Baptist church to send messengers to our 2020 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando\, Fla.\, on June 9-10\,” Floyd said in advance of the opening of online registration Feb. 1 at sbcannualmeeting.net. \n“I am calling upon our pastors and church leaders from our churches to do all they can to bring their full contingent of messengers to Orlando\,” Floyd said. “This will be a historic convention that casts a big vision for our future together. \n“I deeply believe the more people we can have attend our annual meeting each year\,” he said\, “the more we will be able to mobilize our work together across the world as Southern Baptists.” \nThe meeting\, themed “Gospel Above All. Always\,” has already drawn a higher hotel registration to date than previous meetings\, said William Townes\, SBC EC chief financial officer. He tabulated hotel registration to date for SBC 2020 at 2\,132\, compared to 1\,327 at the comparable time last year for SBC 2019. \n“We are very pleased that current hotel bookings are far outpacing the prior year\,” Townes told BP Monday (Jan. 13). “Based on these strong reservation [numbers]\, we anticipate we will have between 11\,000 and 13\,000 church messengers represented with more than 15\,000 attendees in total.” \nEach church is allowed a minimum of two messengers\, with other criteria determining an allowed messenger count as high 12 per church. \nHotel rooms are still available at sbcannualmeeting.net for the meeting at the west concourse of the Orange County Convention Center. \nWatch Floyd’s video invitation to SBC 2020:
