Congratulations to the following recipients of the 2017 SBC Pastors’ Conference Scholarship. Each of these 30 recipients will receive $1,000 for travel and other expenses to attend all sessions of the SBC Pastors’ Conference and SBC Annual Meeting. These recipients pastor average-sized SBC churches and wouldn’t be able to attend without these scholarship funds. About 30% of our applicants are church planters. Several are from outside traditional SBC states. We love having this opportunity to bless small church pastors.
We want to thank early donors who have helped make these scholarships possible:
Cross Church (Springdale, AR), Hickory Grove Baptist Church (Charlotte, NC), Johnson Ferry Baptist Church (Marietta, GA), Roger K. Simpson (individual donor, member of First Southern Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, OK, where SBCPC speaker Shane Hall pastors), First Baptist Church (Woodstock, GA), Liberty Baptist Church (Hampton, VA), Broadmoor Baptist Church (Madison, MS), Cornerstone Fellowship Baptist Church (Haskell, TX), and the SBC of Virginia (state convention). We anticipate others coming on board to make more scholarships available (instructions here). The Pastors’ Conference is also funding a number of these scholarships. Our hope is to release a second round of scholarships by the first week of May.
