Summer is here, and June is packed with incredible kingdom opportunities across Georgia. Before we share the exciting news from this month, let us pause and celebrate what God has been doing.
Baptisms are up. Church attendance is up. Giving is up. And most importantly, we're seeing a renewed passion across our convention to reach the 7+ million people in Georgia who don't yet know Christ. What a time to be alive in Georgia Baptist ministry.
Now, meet Thomas Hammond and three critical things happening this month:
1. Camp Season
From the North Georgia mountains to the coast, churches are hosting camps. Impact, Surge, Super Wow, Camp Pinnacle, and so many local church camps are gathering children, teenagers, and young adults for a summer focused on God's love, missions, and growing in their faith. Join us in prayer that God would speak to the hearts of young people, call them into ministry and missions, and draw them into relationship with Christ.
2. Southern Baptist Convention Fellowship
The SBC, meets in June in Orlando. On Monday night following the evening session, Georgia Baptists gather for fellowship, treats, giveaways, and great conversation. Register online at the SBC website, and we'll send you all the details. We hope to see you there.
3. New Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) at Georgia Southern
A brand-new facility that opens this fall in Statesboro at 1701 Chandler Avenue. With a 300+ capacity gathering space, offices, residential apartments, and a coffee shop, this is a strategic opportunity for students to find community, grow in faith, and hear the gospel. The facility is already 65% full for the coming school year.
Bonus: SPARK Conference Six is regional conferences across Georgia and forty different workshops. Bring your staff, leaders, and volunteers. Details are live now.
Pastor, we are praying that God would move across Georgia. Thank you for serving faithfully as we reach our state together.
