Annie Armstrong Easter Offering
2026-04-05 | MD
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.

You will leave with clarity, practical tools, and conversations around tables with women who understand the weight and joy of ministry leadership.

MEET OUR SPEAKER
J. Nicole Warren is a leadership consultant, executive HR leader, and founder of J. Nicole Consulting, where she equips professionals to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. With more than 20 years of experience in corporate and nonprofit leadership, she is passionate about helping women understand that faith is not something separate from their calling—it is the foundation that sustains it.
Starting her career as a single mother working a $9.50-per-hour contract role without a degree, J. Nicole went on to earn her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration after she turned 40, obtain her SHRM-SCP certification, and now serves as HR Director for a large faith-based organization.
J. Nicole speaks to women navigating leadership, calling, and the realities of life by teaching how faith, discipline, and obedience can anchor them through every season. Her message encourages women to lead with humility, build others well, and trust that purpose is not found in position but in obedience. She is honored to call Jaylen (26) and Journi (18) her two biggest blessings that God has gifted her.

Pastor Formation Cohort
2026-05-21 | MD
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.

Disability Sunday
2026-07-12 | MD
Because church should be a safe place for people with disabilities

Disability Sunday: A Call to Embrace All

Join churches throughout Maryland/Delaware in recognizing the second Sunday of July as disability Sunday. We are so excited to be linking arms with other SBC state conventions to provide encouragement to and for individuals with disabilities and their families and bring awareness to the need for disability ministry in our churches.

Understanding Disability Sunday

Disability Sunday is a pivotal day for churches to recognize and act upon the biblical mandate found in Luke 14:13, which calls us to invite and embrace those who are often marginalized, including individuals with disabilities. This day is not just about awareness but about actively removing obstacles to ensure that the gospel is accessible to all. By participating, churches demonstrate their commitment to inclusivity and the spiritual growth of every individual.

Campers, ages 12 and up, can expect to pack for a three-day/two-night weekend of fun at the Skycroft Conference Center in Middletown, MD. Families have the opportunity to ride the zip-line, plunge down an outdoor water slide, or relax by the pool. We will also have crafts, singing, games, a talent show, evening dance and daily Bible study. Campers and their families will get to experience the love of God through activities during the weekend. We hope you can join us for a weekend of fun and connection!

Camper Registration

*Application does not guarantee attendance to camp. You will be notified once your application is reviewed and accepted. Payment is not due at the time of application. Anyone attending over the age of 18 will be required to complete a background check. Additional family members can be parents or siblings. The cost is determined by the family unit size and not children versus adults. Financial aid is available for families who are unable to cover the cost of camp. Email Kmatthews@bcmd.org for more information.

Volunteer Registration

The Everyone Belongs Camp continues to grow and reach new families every year! This means that we need more volunteers to show the love of Christ to our families. That’s where you come in!
To volunteer, you do not need to have any prior professional experience or a specialized background working with disabilities. Each camper will have a caregiver or parent stay with them throughout the weekend. As a volunteer buddy, your main role is to build friendships, offer encouragement, and join your camper in the fun! Volunteers help accompany campers to activities like worship, Bible study, games, arts and crafts, and more throughout the day on Saturday.
Volunteers are not responsible for medical care or overnight assistance. Campers and caregivers stay together in individual motel-style rooms, while volunteers stay in separate lodging areas. Volunteers also never remain alone with campers and will participate in activities within group settings at all times.
Whether this is your very first camp or you’ve joined us before, we would absolutely love to have you be part of the Everyone Belongs Camp family! Every volunteer who says “yes” makes it possible for us to welcome and serve another family impacted by disability. Come help us create unforgettable memories, build meaningful friendships, and share the life-changing love of Christ with families who need to know they belong.
**Volunteers must complete a background check and interview process. Payment is not due at the time of application.

Feeding Team
Feeding volunteers prepare and serve large quantities of food using Disaster Relief equipment. In this course, participants will gain hands-on instruction in large-scale food preparation, kitchen safety, and operating mobile feeding units. (The review of 5 training videos and a written self-check must be submitted to dbennett@bcmd.org prior to receiving your DR badge)

Recovery Team
Recovery volunteers assist homeowners by cleaning and restoring personal dwellings after a disaster. In this class, participants will learn debris removal techniques, mud-out procedures, temporary repairs, and safe work practices in challenging environments.

Shower/Laundry Team
The shower/laundry team provides important support to our volunteers, other responders and the community during disaster response. Volunteers will learn procedures for all stages of the laundry process from initial guest contact to returning clean laundry, with an emphasis on safe operation of equipment and spiritual care ministry.

Shower/Laundry Trailer Set-Up
While the shower/laundry team focuses on providing direct ministry to survivors and disaster responders, the trailer set-up crew does the work of physically setting up the trailer, keeping everything running and preparing the trailer for departure at the end of a deployment. If you’re mechanically inclined, please consider taking this hands-on class!

Bivocational Track

A Special track for bivocational pastors and church leaders

The Bi-vocational Pastor Track is a two-day track within the BCM/D Church Leaders Conference (CLC) designed specifically for bi-vocational pastors. This track will provide encouragement, practical insight, and meaningful conversation for pastors who faithfully balance the responsibilities of work, family, and ministry. Through focused sessions and group discussion, participants will explore healthy rhythms for sustaining long-term ministry while continuing to lead and shepherd their families and churches well.
Session Descriptions:
1. The Rhythm of Abiding (Sustaining Your Walk with God) – This session will help pastors cultivate consistent spiritual rhythms—prayer, Scripture, and rest—so that ministry flows from their relationship with Christ rather than from exhaustion.
2. The Rhythm of Work and Ministry – This session will explore practical ways bi-vocational pastors can manage the rhythm between their vocation, ministry responsibilities, and personal life while remaining faithful and effective.
3. The Rhythm of Shepherding and Leading – This session will help pastors develop healthy rhythms of shepherding their family and church, equipping leaders, and sharing ministry responsibilities so that the church can grow without overwhelming the pastor.

Absolutely! We think that’s a great idea. Feel free to meet up with your team at anytime throughout the two days to plan, pray, or discuss!

Come casual and comfortable! Some attendees like to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket (the Worship Center can be chilly!) — or snag one at the BCM/D Store.

Can you accommodate allergies?
Yes! We offer gluten-free and dairy-free lunch options, as well as options at the Snack Bar.

Can we reserve seats?
We’re not able to reserve seats, but when doors open you’re welcome to send someone from your group to hold seats until five minutes before the session begins. After that, we’ll need to release unfilled seats so everyone can be accommodated. It’s going to be a full house!

Where should I stay?
Please note: We do not have a conference hotel room block. However, if you are attending with a group, you may contact any of the hotels below to inquire about setting up a group room block, which may offer discounted rates.

COMPASSION MINISTRIES OFFERING

“We want to be a convention who sees and cares for the vulnerable and marginalized.”
Every year, churches across the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware unite during this week to pray for the compassion ministries supported by the Compassion Ministries Offering (CMO) — and to consider how the Lord may lead them to give. This guide walks through eight days of prayer: one day for the whole vision, one for each of our five compassion ministry focus areas, one for the leaders who carry this work, and a closing day of response.
