Registration for messengers and local hotels is open for the June 23–24 Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) annual meeting at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.
SBC President Johnny Hunt has selected “LoveLoud — Actions Speak Louder Than Words” (Matt. 5:16) as the theme for this year’s sessions. Hunt, pastor of First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Ga., said he hopes the LoveLoud emphasis will “challenge our denomination to demonstrate to our communities, our country and around the world the difference Jesus Christ makes in our lives and in our churches.”
The annual meeting will be held in Louisville in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the founding of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Churches can register their messengers online at www.sbc.net to avoid waiting at the counter upon arrival at the convention. By registering online, the SBC Web site gives a church a messenger reference number form to be printed and presented by each messenger at the SBC registration booth in exchange for a nametag and a set of ballots. The appropriate church-authorized representative must complete all online registrations.
The traditional registration method is also available for those churches that are unable or opt not to access online registration. Registration cards are available from state convention offices.
Each year’s SBC annual meeting includes a Crossover evangelistic outreach across the local community (June 20 in Louisville), the pastors conference, the national Woman’s Missionary Union annual meeting and celebration, numerous other meetings of SBC-related organizations, child care and age-appropriate programs for children and youth.
