Baptist Convention of Maryland & Delaware

Youth & Kids E3 Event
2026-05-23
Equipping + Encouraging + Engaging = E3!
E3 events bring together children’s and youth ministry leaders from across the BCM/D for three energizing hours of practical training, meaningful encouragement, and real connection. Each gathering features a mix of large-group learning and smaller kidmin/youth-specific breakouts so leaders can grow together and dive into what matters most in their ministry area. We’ll meet in one central space with an additional breakout room, keeping everything simple, relational, and impactful. And yes, snacks and drinks are on us (because ministry is better with treats!).
Come engage, get equipped, and leave encouraged to keep serving the next generation with joy and confidence.

Pastor Formation Cohort
2026-05-21
Pastoring is not a 9-to-5 job.
There is an unending list of important things to do as you seek to serve others sacrificially. The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work, and can leave you running on empty.“I don’t know if I can keep up this pace anymore.”
“I am on the verge of just walking away.”
“The pressure has reached a breaking point.”
If you have felt this way you are not alone.
We welcome you to our Pastoral Formation Community. Pastor, author, and artist Ronnie Martin and BCM/D Director of Formation and Health, Dan Hyun, will provide perspectives and practices that will lead to newfound flourishing in your life and ministry. You’ll learn to develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people you care for while guarding you from burnout.
Our cohort-based approach blends some teaching but will primarily be oriented around connection with one another with two half-day retreats (February 19 and May 21) that bookend shorter regionally based gatherings throughout March and April. Together we’ll explore practices that restore attentiveness to God and people: crafting sane schedules, shepherding from identity rather than insecurity, leading from prayerful presence, and building friendships that sustain the long haul.
Check out more details including the regional dates and locations below. Space is intentionally limited so register soon to hold your spot.
If you’re tired of measuring ministry by speed and volume, come learn to do less—and accomplish more of what actually matters. Your soul, your family, and your church will notice the difference.

Regional Meetups — March
Dates: Regional gatherings throughout March 2026
Locations: Various locations across Maryland and Delaware
Description:Connect with other pastors in your region for a time of conversation, encouragement, and sharpening. These smaller gatherings build on February’s retreat and give space to talk about real challenges in ministry with brothers who understand the weight of the work.

Regional Meetups — April
Dates: Regional gatherings throughout April 2026
Locations: Various locations across Maryland and Delaware
Description:Take another step in the journey toward healthy, sustainable ministry. These regional meetups keep the momentum going—helping you stay focused, grounded, and connected as you put new practices into motion.
Register for an April Meetup Here!

May Retreat
Date: May 21, 2025
Location: South Shore Church
Description:We’ll wrap up our time together with a final half-day retreat—a chance to look back, refocus, and move forward with clarity. Join Ronnie and Dan as we revisit the lessons learned, celebrate progress, and commit to running the race with endurance.

Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
2026-04-05
Annie Armstrong (1850–1938) was a bold advocate for missionaries and their work. She championed missions support among Southern Baptist churches and helped create a rich legacy of people awakened and responding to God’s call to pray, give and go.
Since 1895, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering has empowered Southern Baptists’ missional work to reach the U.S., Canada, and their territories. Generation after generation, we’ve united to reach people born on our shores and the nations who come here to make a new home.
Your generous giving to the annual Annie Armstrong Easter Offering makes an eternal impact across North America. You and your church are the fuel that enables thousands of missionaries to be sent, to plant churches, and to serve the needs of people who desperately need a gospel witness.

Breakout Sessions

At Revive, we believe every woman has a story to tell, a mission to live, and a gospel worth sharing. This year’s breakout track is designed to equip you to leverage your everyday life – your conversations, your home, your community, and your unique gifting – to boldly and joyfully share the hope of Jesus.

Choose from five practical and encouraging sessions that will help you walk confidently into the mission God has given you.

Confident Faith: Everyday Apologetics for Real Women
How do you respond when someone asks a hard question about God? This session breaks down apologetics in a warm, accessible way—helping you answer with clarity, gentleness, and truth. Walk away with simple tools that strengthen your confidence and point others to Jesus in any conversation.

The Secrets Of A Prayer Warrior: How To Pray With Boldness
Discover how to approach God with confidence and faith. In this breakout, you’ll learn practical strategies for strengthening your prayer life, grounding your prayers in Scripture, and interceding with courage. Walk away equipped to pray boldly for your family, your calling, and the lost world around you.

Gospel at Home: Leading Your Household to Jesus
Before we reach the world, we reach the people under our own roof. This session will help you build rhythms that make Scripture, prayer, and spiritual conversations a natural part of home life—whether you’re discipling kids, encouraging a spouse, or influencing extended family.

For Working Women: Living Missionally As You Serve and Lead
You don’t need a passport to live on mission. God has placed working women in spaces where they use their gifts and abilities for a purpose. This breakout equips you to see your secular work place as gospel opportunities and to step boldly into relationships with compassion, courage, and intentionality.

Your Story Matters: Sharing Your Testimony with Power and Clarity

Your testimony is a God-given way to share the gospel with authenticity and impact. In this interactive session, you’ll learn how to shape your story so it’s clear, compelling, and rooted in Scripture—and leave prepared with a 2–3 minute testimony you can confidently share.

George Liele Missions Breakfast
2026-02-21
George Liele Missionary Breakfast
The BCM/D African American Fellowship (AAF) invites you to attend the 4th Annual George Liele Missionary Breakfast, a special event celebrating the legacy of George Liele and highlighting the vital role of African American missionaries in global missions.
Through engaging visuals, stories, and testimonies, participants will gain a deeper understanding of international missions and the growing need for African American missionaries.
Saturday, February 21 2026 | 9 AM – 12:00 PMSharon Bible Fellowship Church, 6117 Seabrook Road, Lanham MD 20706

Here's what to expect:

Video Presentation
This year’s program will feature a powerful video presentation on the history of George Liele, along with presentations spotlighting two mission teams:
The Africa Partnership, led by Pastor Ricky Wilson
Ricky Wilson, originally from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ at the age of nine. This encounter led him to embark on a journey to discover God’s purpose for his life, ultimately answering the call to preach the gospel. He pursued theological education at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, where he earned a Master of Theology degree in Pastoral Leadership. Additionally, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Cheyney State University.
Ricky Wilson, together with his wife, children, and a dedicated group of believers, planted Christian Faith Fellowship, a church located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Ricky serves as the Senior Pastor of the church, guiding and shepherding the congregation.
Pastor Wilson currently serves as an International Missions Board Trustee for the Southern Baptist Convention.
Recently, he founded Africa Partnership with a clear vision to strengthen local churches across the African continent through education, evangelism, edification, and economic development. Africa Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has been working in Africa for over 22 years in 14 countries focused on providing support for local churches and leaders. Africa Partnership strengthens local churches, empowers leaders, and plants new congregations through training, discipleship, and resource support.
Pastor Wilson and his beloved wife, Shirley, are the proud parents of two sons, Philip Jordan and the late Michael Jonathan. Their family stands as a testament to their love, faith, and dedication to their calling in ministry.
Essential Piece Ministries International (EPMI), led by Pastor and Sis Keiffer and Martha Bent
In 2000, Essential Piece Ministries International was founded by Keiffer and Martha Bent. EPMI grew out of a love of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We observed an urgency for the gospel. The need continues to grow worldwide.
We now serve locally and internationally as short-term missionaries. Our first mission trip as a family was to Antigua. After returning we continued to work in full-time ministry in Maryland. Our focus is to share the gospel, to train and equip through evangelism, discipleship and training.
From 2006 to present, EPMI has served locally and internationally. We are Mission focused (Mathew 28:19-20). We are thankful for the opportunities we have had to share the gospel, give bibles, evangelistic booklets and pamphlets, leading Bible studies and mobilizing the church. In North America, India, Taiwan, China, Philippines, South African and Central Africa, We want people to know, and experience Jesus, as Lord and Savior through: Evangelism, Discipleship Training.
Currently, we are focused on expanding our outreach work on a broader scale. One of the specific goals is to help pastors, and lay leaders internationally to be more equipped. If they are more equipped, they can better share the gospel effectively, teach their families, and congregation. They can better develop disciples in their local areas. Additionally, we will expand our work in Evangelism and training in more countries. Additionally, adding English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry, hosting Bibles studies, and discipleship training locally and globally.
We trust the Lord and all the needed resources: working under the power of the Holy Spirit, prayer, God’s labors, and financial support. In order for the ministry to continue to thrive and grow. There is an urgent need for the gospel to be proclaimed. (John 3:16).

Breakfast & Guest Choir
Breakfast will be served buffet style consisting of: Scrambled Eggs, Grits, hash brown potatoes, pork bacon, pork & turkey Sausage, bread & butter w/ jelly, pancakes w/ Syrup. Juices, milk, fruit, and an assortment of Danishes.
The event will also include a special musical selection by The Washington DC Choral Union.

BCM/D’s AAF introduces George Liele Offering
We will introduce the George Liele Fund that will be used to support African American Pastors and congregations who are involved with international missions.
Each participant will receive a fund envelope and a memento of George Liele (magnet, book marker, coffee cup, etc.).

Pastor Formation Cohort
2026-02-19
Pastoring is not a 9-to-5 job.
There is an unending list of important things to do as you seek to serve others sacrificially. The demands of ministry make it difficult to find a healthy rhythm of life and work, and can leave you running on empty.“I don’t know if I can keep up this pace anymore.”
“I am on the verge of just walking away.”
“The pressure has reached a breaking point.”
If you have felt this way you are not alone.
We welcome you to our Pastoral Formation Community. Pastor, author, and artist Ronnie Martin and BCM/D Director of Formation and Health, Dan Hyun, will provide perspectives and practices that will lead to newfound flourishing in your life and ministry. You’ll learn to develop a sustainable pattern of ministry that both honors the Lord and the people you care for while guarding you from burnout.
Our cohort-based approach blends some teaching but will primarily be oriented around connection with one another with two half-day retreats (February 19 and May 21) that bookend shorter regionally based gatherings throughout March and April. Together we’ll explore practices that restore attentiveness to God and people: crafting sane schedules, shepherding from identity rather than insecurity, leading from prayerful presence, and building friendships that sustain the long haul.
Check out more details including the regional dates and locations below. Space is intentionally limited so register soon to hold your spot.
If you’re tired of measuring ministry by speed and volume, come learn to do less—and accomplish more of what actually matters. Your soul, your family, and your church will notice the difference.

February Retreat
Date: February 19, 2026, 9:30AM – 3PM
Location: South Shore Church
Kick off the Pastoral Formation Community with our first half-day retreat.

This opening session lays the groundwork for developing habits that help you stay steady and effective for the long haul.

Regional Meetups — March
Connect with other pastors in your region for a time of conversation, encouragement, and sharpening. These smaller gatherings build on February’s retreat and give space to talk about real challenges in ministry with brothers who understand the weight of the work.

Breakouts
Leading with Legacy in MindRev. Bucas Sterling III, Senior Pastor – Kettering Baptist Church Legacy CenterThis breakout invites senior pastors to reflect on the long-term impact of their leadership. With a focus on legacy, participants will explore key principles and personal insights that shape how ministry is led today and remembered tomorrow.
The Wounded HealerRev. Andy Ehlers, Senior Pastor – Hide Tide ChurchIn a world where pastors are expected to be strong and unshaken, where do we go with our wounds, brokenness, and suffering? This breakout explores how God uses our own pain—not in spite of it, but through it—to bring healing to others. Through wisdom gleaned from Scripture and real life experience, this session invites you to embrace a redemptive vision of ministry where healing and leadership flow from the same sacred place.
Leading from the Second ChairRev. Jeremy Dickson – BCM/DThis session explores the unique challenges and opportunities of serving in a supporting leadership role. Designed for those who lead without being the lead pastor, it offers space to consider how to lead with excellence, influence, and integrity from where you are. Whether you’re navigating vision, communication, or team dynamics, this conversation will encourage and equip you to lead faithfully from the seat you occupy.
The Heart, Head, and Hands of MobilizationRev. Jamie Caldwell – Send NetworkThis breakout will help pastors clarify a Christlike focus on mobilization by providing a church-wide framework for discerning, discovering, developing, and deploying leaders from the harvest for the harvest.
Rooted and Renewed: Spiritual Practices that Sustain Pastoral LifeDr. Ron Blankenship – DOM, Montgomery Baptist AssociationRev. Victor Kirk – Senior Pastor, Sharon Bible Fellowship ChurchDr. Joel Rainey – Senior Pastor, Covenant ChurchJoin us to explore the personal spiritual formation practices that ground and sustain pastors amid the demands of ministry and life. Our panel of experienced practitioners will share rhythms, disciplines, and habits that help them remain connected to Christ and lead from a place of spiritual vitality.
