Younger Leaders Meeting in Greensboro, June 12

The second annual Younger Leaders Meeting held in conjunction with the SBC Annual Meeting will take place on Monday evening, June 12, at the War Memorial Auditorium in Greensboro. Both established and younger SBC leaders will discuss various topics about sharing Christ effectively in today's world, both here and abroad, and the role of the SBC in the advancement of God's Kingdom. Toward the end of this meeting, Ed Stetzer will introduce the Missional Network, an "online and relational community of ministry leaders connecting according to their chosen ministry approach" that is sponsored by NAMB. The goal of the Missional Network is to provide a forum in which missionally minded SBC leaders can connect with each other and share ideas.

9:55 PM: Worship band begins (2-3 songs)

10:00 PM: Jimmy Draper: Opening prayer and welcome to young leaders
