SBC Annual Meeting
June 2-8
Each year tens of thousands of Southern Baptists gather to celebrate what God is doing through their combined ministry efforts and to deliberate on the direction of the Convention for the future. It has been said “the annual meeting combines the elements of an old-fashioned revival meeting with an open-microphone business meeting.” It is a time of equipping and inspiration with nearly 200 ancillary meetings, events and gatherings throughout the week. It aims to encourage, equip and mobilize for Kingdom work.
In addition to reports from the six Southern Baptist seminaries, reports are given by the leaders of the International Mission Board, North American Mission Board and others. One of the highlights of each Annual Meeting is a Sending Celebration where IMB missionaries are commissioned for their new work on mission fields throughout the world.
Pray for the leaders of the Convention as well as Arizona leadership and pastors as they participate and make critical decisions regarding the future of our Convention. In all things, may Christ be lifted up and God be glorified.
The 2024 Convention will be led by SBC President Bart Barber and held in Indianapolis, Indiana, June 11-12. This year’s theme is “One Mind, One Voice.” For more information: sbcannualmeeting.net.
