28octAll Day29Compelling Preaching Conference
Monday, October 28 – Tuesday, October 29 Hilton Raleigh North Hills, Raleigh All pastors and preachers are invited to attend The Compelling Preaching
All pastors and preachers are invited to attend The Compelling Preaching Conference on October 28-29 in Raleigh at the Hilton North Hills. The Compelling Preaching Conference will bring together exemplary preachers, professors of homiletics, theologians and thought leaders to teach, educate and inspire participants. Preachers and pastors from the General Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (GBSC) and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina (CBFNC) will also lead participants through roundtable conversations.
The conference will serve as a platform for sharing effective, creative and faithful preachers from North Carolina congregations. The conference will also address the many challenges facing pastors who seek to preach and interpret faith for diverse and often divided audiences. Preaching that confronts social, cultural and political realities that divide congregations and communities will also be modeled and encouraged.
The conference is made possible through a collaborative grant among GBSC and CBFNC from Lilly Endowment, Inc.’s Compelling Preaching Initiative. It is being held in conjunction with the GBSC’s Annual Meeting and participants are invited to attend any and all sessions.

Helping Churches Thrive Creative Workshop Retreat November 14-15 | Catholic Conference Center, Hickory Church in today’s world is complex and
Church in today’s world is complex and challenging.
But what if churches could embrace their potential to THRIVE instead of accepting the pressure to simply survive?
CBFNC’s Helping Churches Thrive (HCT) program is cultivating opportunities to foster congregational vitality through a series of Creative Workshops Retreats. The interactive retreats are designed to engage congregational leaders and clergy from across our fellowship as they explore new, practical and innovative ways to flourish in ministry.
This is not another program that will leave you with lingering questions. It is a shared learning experience with other CBFNC churches that will empower you to identify, celebrate and grow the characteristics of thriving congregations for your church, all under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Click here to learn more about the characteristics of a Thriving Congregation.
The design of the 24-hour retreat will quickly bring into focus the urgency and profound opportunity of today’s church context. The retreat kicks off at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 14, and wraps up by 2:00 p.m. on Friday, November 15.
The cost is $50 for double occupancy rooms and $100 for single occupancy rooms, with dinner, breakfast, and lunch provided. The retreat will be held at the Catholic Conference Center in Hickory, NC.
Space is limited to 40 participants.
Helping Churches Thrive is funded by a grant from Lily Endowment, Inc’s Thriving Congregations Initiative.
November 14, 2024 - November 15, 2024 (All Day)(GMT+00:00)
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina’s Helping Pastors Thrive Program is to provide pastors ongoing opportunities and environments for relational learning, spiritual formation, and professional development in the practices of Christian ministry across the vocational life span. Through a program of intentional mentoring and peer-based learning,
Helping Pastors Thrive will meet CBFNC pastors’ needs for professional development and vocational and spiritual well-being as they serve their congregations. Pastors who thrive will inevitably contribute to congregational health and the vitality of their congregation’s ministries in the communities they seek to serve.
