Registration open for SBC annual meeting

DALLAS — Registration opened Feb. 1 for the Southern Baptist Convention’s 2018 annual meeting June 12–13 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas. Registration for messengers and invited guests is available at www.sbcannualmeeting.net. Each messenger who registers will receive an eight-digit code to enter into a computer at the SBC registration area. Church-authorized representatives must complete all online messenger registrations.

This year’s theme, based on Acts 5:20, is “Testify! Go. Stand. Speak.” SBC President Steve Gaines has urged Southern Baptists to attend to hear entity reports, conduct business and “cry out to the Lord” for a “spiritual awakening” for the nation.

Hotel registration continues through May 14 online at sbcannualmeeting.net and by phone from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday at 1-800-967-8852. (BP)
