JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Baptist Pastors’ Conference will be Oct. 24 from 8:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Second Baptist Church, Springfield, on the theme of “Non-Negotiables: The Essentials of Ministry.”
Steven J. Lawson, senior pastor of Christ Fellowship Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in Mobile, Ala., will be the featured teacher. Lawson will deliver four messages.
“Dr. Lawson is passionate, relevant and historic,” said Monty Dunn, president of the Pastors’ Conference. “By that I mean he’s in touch with the legacy of faith that we’ve inherited. He’s very engaging in the pulpit. He’s not a dry, dusty theologian.”
Tom White, executive director, Voice of the Martyrs, Bartlesville, Okla., will preach two messages. White, who was imprisoned in 1979 for distributing Christian literature in Cuba when his small plane went down, will teach on how suffering for Christ is non-negotiable.
Doug Richey, who is preparing to become the new pastor of Pisgah Baptist Church in Excelsior Springs on Nov. 13, will kick off the afternoon session by preaching on the supremacy of sanctification.
Dunn, pastor, Pleasant View Baptist Church, Highlandville, is bi-vocational.
