OCTOBER 14-15

WEBSTER CONFERENCE CENTER, SALINA, KANSAS

Church Leader,

I would like to personally invite you to the 79th Church Forward Annual Meeting held on October 14-15, 2024 and hosted at the Webster Conference Center in Salina, Kansas. Webster Conference Center has been a vital part of our state convention since 1981 and has launched many visitors into their discipleship and ministry journeys through camp and conference experiences. We are excited to have you and your team experience this unique facility and connect with other church leaders and convention/association staff during this event. Along with convention business, the Annual Meeting will offer numerous breakout sessions to equip your ministry team for the unique challenges you face in your local church and community. A live Spanish translation will be available for all main sessions and select breakout ones.

This year, we are blessed to welcome two guest speakers: Jeff Iorg, Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee President/CEO and Ben Mandrell, President/CEO of Lifeway Christian Resources. As in years past, we will also host a collaborative worship team from across Kansas and Nebraska, who will lead us in bilingual praise during our meeting.             

Sincerely,

Dr. David Manner, Executive Director
