Theme:
We are living in unprecedented times in America. By the time of the conference, we will be just over a year out from the Obergefell decision. And things aren't just changing from without, but within the Church (or those who claim to be) we've seen entire denominations capitulate on a variety of issues. Even within faithful denominations we've seen sketchy evangelism tactics, a confusion of the role and function of the local church, and anover-emphasiss at times on parachurch organizations. In the Southern Baptist Convention we continue to struggle with a great disparity between membership rolls and actual meaningful membership within our churches. With all of these changes that are taking place within and without we want to address the theme of Why the Local Church Still Matters. Our chief priority is to be faithful to the Church's Head who is Christ our Lord. The conference will feature three different plenary sessions and a Q&A Panel to discuss these important issues.
