Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference Schedule

June 9-10, 2013

George R. Brown Convention Center, Houston

Theme: "Launch: Taking Our Hearts, Homes, and Ministries to a Higher Place"

President, Gregg Matte, pastor, Houston's First Baptist Church, Houston

Pastors' Conference 2013 wants to create a movement -- not just manage a conference.

Its vision is to inspire the heart and offer practical application to the hands of the Pastor and his wife. This will be accomplished through preaching, prayer times, worship and panel discussions. Revival in our denomination and nation will best result from the pastors' passion for Jesus and declaration of vision from Jesus. The Southern Baptist Convention's time in Houston may be the spark God chooses to use to bring revival.
