The SGBA Annual Conference will take place at Lemoyne Baptist Church in Toledo, OH from July 13th through the 16th with Brother Jim Elliff as the keynote speaker.

The conference starts Monday evening at 8:00 PM and ends Thursday noon. This year’s topic: Behind the Smile: The Inner Battles of the Christian

Discouragement, worry, pride and debilitating bitterness are the enemies of passion and effective ministry for Christ. All Christians face these inner issues at some time or another. They meet us behind the smiling face we project to others. And when we are not battling them ourselves, we can be sure other Christians are. Jim Elliff will attempt to help us face these persistent adversaries in a Biblical and practical way and will point the way to restore our passion for the glory of Christ.
