Ministers Conference
Our BMBA Ministers Conference is a weekly event where we meet for a time of refreshment, encouragement, prayer, worship and inspiration. All church staff members and ministry leaders are invited and encouraged to attend. Meetings begin in September and end in May, with a break through the summer months.
The Ministers Conference meets on Thursdays at 11:00 a.m., at the BMBA Conference Center (unless otherwise noted) located at 1449 Medical Park Drive, Birmingham, AL 35213. We will also livestream ministers conference to the BMBA Facebook page and BMBA YouTube channel for those who are unable to attend in-person. (If you prefer to join us on Zoom, please contact Marisa Taylor at marisat@bmbaonline.org to receive the link to the virtual meeting.)
We will use several different meeting formats including:
practical ministry skill development
inspiration/encouragement
networking/fellowship
