The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, a renewal movement among Baptists comprised of individuals
and approximately 1,900 churches which partners with15 theological schools, 19 autonomous state and regional organizations and more than 150 ministry organizations worldwide, will hold its annual General Assembly in Houston, Texas this week.
The theme of the 2009 General Assembly is: Embrace the World: Welcome to your Neighborhood
Welcome to your neighborhood – a new one, a global one, one where we’re all connected, one where Christ’s compassion extends to our neighbors down the street and around the world, one where we are changed as God changes lives through us, and one where – as one – we can make a world of difference. Come this summer to a city as diverse as Houston, where you can embrace the world by getting to know your new global neighbors. Hear from them why this fellowship movement called Cooperative Baptist Fellowship matters, and leave the Assembly knowing you are part of this growing movement of God in the world.
General Assembly events began on Monday (June 29) with various missions service projects. You can learn more about those here. The Houston Sessions: A Collegiate Missional Experience kicked off on Tuesday (June 30).
Today, Wednesday features a Leadership Institute and a Global Missions Field Personnel Commissioning Service held at South Main Baptist Church in Houston.
The General Assembly officially begins on Thursday (July 2) with dozens of workshops and auxiliary events on the schedule. Here’s a list of the workshops.
