Tom Nettles on the Future of the Southern Baptist Convention

Tom Nettles is one of the foremost Baptist historians in the world. His published work has helped shape Southern Baptists for more than three decades in the areas of biblical authority, Baptist identity, gospel recovery and church health and polity. There is no one that I would rather hear talk about the SBC’s prospects than Dr. Nettles.

At the upcoming Founders Breakfast in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will have an opportunity listen as he does just that. Once again this year the breakfast will be held just prior to the opening session of the convention’s annual meeting. The theme for his talk is

Retrospect and Prospect: A Historian’s Perspective on the Future of the Southern Baptist Convention


Cost for the breakfast is $25.00. Register before May 30 and get a 20% discount. For more information and to register online click here.
