2026 Arkansas Baptist State Convention
Annual Meeting | October 19-20 | FBC Rogers
About the Event
Each year, our annual meeting reminds us of something important: we are better together. God has called each of our churches to faithfully serve their communities, and He has also called us to partner together to accomplish far more than any one church could do alone. Over these two days, we’ll worship together, hear stories of God’s faithfulness across our state, celebrate what He has done, make important decisions for the future of our convention, and be challenged to continue carrying the gospel to every corner of Arkansas and beyond.
The Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention will take place at FBC Rogers, October 19-20.
Childcare will not be provided at the annual meeting. Please make arrangements for childcare on your own.
