Where Mississippi Baptist Leaders Come Together.
From the pastor serving faithfully in a local congregation to the church preparing the next generation, every part of the body has a place in the mission of GMBSC of MS. When we stand together, share the burden, strengthen the Seminary, practice faithful stewardship, and reach beyond our walls, the Convention becomes a living witness across Mississippi.
The mission is too great for one leader or one church. But together, with one Spirit and a shared purpose, we can do what none of us can do alone.
This year’s Fall Session invites pastors, ministers, church leaders, and congregations to come to Greenville ready to worship, reconnect, and take their place in the mission. Bring another pastor. Invite another church. Help us move forward together. President Buckley’s message calls GMBSC toward shared leadership, Seminary support, faithful stewardship, evangelism, and intentional outreach to churches throughout Mississippi.

ROOTED. READY. RESOLVED.

What To Expect
The Fall Session will bring our Convention family together for three meaningful days of worship, connection, and preparation.
-
Worship that renews: Prayer, praise, devotion, and preaching centered on the Word of God.
-
Fellowship that strengthens: Time with pastors and leaders who understand the calling of ministry.
-
Leadership that prepares: Encouragement and insight you can carry back to your church.
-
Vision for the future: A clearer understanding of where GMBSC is going and how your congregation can take part.

New to GMBSC?
Perhaps your church has never attended a GMBSC gathering. Maybe you are looking for stronger fellowship, trusted relationships, sound biblical teaching, theological education, or opportunities to serve beyond your local congregation.
We would be honored to welcome you.
Come and meet our Convention family. Learn about our ministries and institutions. Worship with us. Ask questions. Discover how your congregation can connect with churches across Mississippi and help shape the mission ahead.
There is room for you in this fellowship.
One Pastor. One Church. One Personal Invitation.
Every GMBSC pastor is encouraged to bring ONE.
Think of a pastor whose church is not currently connected to the Convention. Make the call. Share a meal. Sit down and tell them what GMBSC means to you. Invite them to Greenville. Invite them to experience the fellowship. Invite them to see how their church can worship, grow, serve, and move forward with us.
Do not invite them only to attend. Invite them to find a place in the mission.
