THREE REASONS WHY YOU NEED THE SUMMIT

November 7, 2017

By Randy C. Davis
TBMB President & Executive Director

Summit 2017 at FBC Hendersonville, Nov. 12-15.

I loved family reunions when I was growing up. Those reunions always landed on or near my Grandpa Davis’ birthday. My Grandpa Davis was my hero. He and Granny Davis were faithful saints and I loved them dearly. Granny Davis was the greatest prayer warrior I’ve ever known, and Grandpa Davis served as treasurer at Little Escambia (Ala.) Baptist Church for over 40 years.

I remember that nearly 100 kinfolks would show up and pack out the church. Afterwards, we’d head to Granny’s and Grandpa’s small house for dinner-on-the-grounds. It was always a blast seeing cousins, aunts and uncles I only got to see once a year. [Read more…]

SUMMIT PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE

September 13, 2017

By Steve Freeman
President, Tennessee Baptist Convention

Serving as your Tennessee Baptist Convention president has been, is, and will be one of the greatest highlights of my personal ministry! What a blessing it is to be a Tennessean, much less a Tennessee Baptist.

God has indeed blessed our state and convention, and I have had the privilege to experience it firsthand. I truly believe we are on the cusp of a great revival in our state. Much progress has been made in achieving our Five Objectives, especially in the area of salvations and baptisms! Praise the Lord! What I am most excited about is the opportunity that we have to gather at “The Summit” and celebrate what God is doing among the great churches of our state. [Read more…]
