  • 174 Years of Connecting...

    Connecting with God, Each Other, your Community and the World!

    Three hundred forty three messengers and 70 guests gathered for the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware’s 174th annual meeting, Nov. 8-10 at the Sheraton, Towson. This year’s theme was “Connect…A conference celebrating the Great Commission.” Keynote speakers focused on connecting to God, to one another, to each other, to the community and to the world.

    The yearly “family reunion” was shortened and revamped this year, focusing on truly “connecting” through break-out conference sessions, a workshop, special brunches and dinners and fellowship breakfasts and even a Baltimore mission tour where participants climbed to the roof of a Baltimore row home and prayed over the city. There was also a corresponding online devotional focusing on the "Connect" theme, with articles written by various BCM/D staff and church leaders.

    Next year the convention will celebrate its 175th anniversary. Wow!

  • OVER the Top Awesome: Horizons Ministry Training Conference

    Over the Top Awesomeness!

    Our annual Ministry Leadership Training Conference, Horizons, went OVER the top this year! OVER 50 classes offered in OVER 15 areas of ministry drew an attendance that reached well OVER 120 people. Shall I continue? Attendees came from OVER 25 BCM/D churches and OVER ALL 11 of our associations were represented.

    The conference offered classes for leaders in Men's Ministry, Worship, Audio/Video, Church Finances, Family Ministry, and... well, why don't you take a look. As if all those "OVERs" weren't enough, we also had some really cool food. No really! A huge fruit well (complete with a watering bucket), fruit flowers, and even fruit swans!

  • Paint-ballin', Canoein', Woodworkin' Fun: Boys' Missions Camp 2009

    Boys' Camp: back again! Every year the BCM/D organizes the 2009 Boys' Missions Camp, a great opportunity for elementary school boys to learn about missions in creative ways.

    This year, our 42 campers experienced paint-balling, canoeing, woodworking, and more. Over 15 churches were represented, FIVE of which were non-baptist (which we're really psyched about).

    Take a look at what the boys did...
