The SBC Chaplaincy team invites chaplains and their families to join us at our annual Chaplain Professional Development Training conference in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina this autumn! Keynote Speaker Richard Blackaby of Blackaby Ministries International will be speaking on “The Character of an SBC Chaplain.”
Connect with fellow SBC chaplains from across the country and stay informed as we feature insightful updates from the North American Mission Board. Enjoy a time of learning and refocusing on the Lord and our chaplaincy calling as we “spur each other on to love and good deeds” for His kingdom.
We hope to see you there!
