2023 SBC Annual Meeting: Pre-registration now open

Pre-registration is now open for churches to pre-register messengers for the 2023 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, set for June 11–14 in New Orleans. Pre-registration for childcare is also open.

The annual meeting will be held in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, which will also be where the Pastors Conference will be held on June 11–12. For more details on the Pastors Conference, click here.

Growing attendance

In recent years, the SBC has seen attendance at annual meetings soar.  Total attendance at the 2021 annual meeting exceeded 21,000. That was the highest attendance in 25 years.

Last year’s meeting in Anaheim drew more than 10,000 people, including 8,133 messengers and 2,856 guests.

The 2023 meeting was originally set to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, but Executive Committee members voted in April 28 to move the meeting to New Orleans due to the growth in attendance of recent gatherings.

Messengers and guests can pre-register on the SBC website.

Practical steps to better connect men in your church

Over the last few years, there has been a slow attendance shift in the seats and pews of our churches. You may have already recognized it in the sea of faces in your congregation on an average Sunday morning.

First person: Steps to reaching the unchurched

When I first became a believer, evangelism meant “cold call,” door-to-door telling people about Jesus.

First person: Understanding seasons of emotional ‘winter’

“I have never felt the flames melting the skin off my veins, but I’ve been through hell in my mind. I’ve had the long sleepless nights, felt the breathless despair in the fight. I’ve laid on the ground crying for help. I’ve felt the rush of anxiety’s waves, and the guilt that won’t wash away, and the deep dread of hopeless days.”
