By Charles Johnson, President • BMA of America
The 2025 national association meeting has now concluded, and we embark on our next 75 years of the Lord’s kingdom work through the BMA of America. I want to personally thank all who attended the meeting and express my special gratitude to Pathway and Heritage Baptist Churches in Waxahachie for their gracious hospitality and attention to detail in hosting our association.
The BMA Conference Team, led by Donny Parrish, is to be commended for faithfully planning, preparing and implementing the national association meeting. They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the success of this vital event.
I want to thank the churches and messengers for their encouragement and confidence in reelecting me to a second term as your president. It is truly a privilege to serve the Lord and His local bodies of believers in this capacity. I ask for your continued prayers and understanding.
Plans are already underway for the 2026 national association meeting, which will be held in Conway, Arkansas, with Antioch Baptist Church as the primary host. The theme for 2026 will be “Until Then.” Many people are discussing the impending return of Jesus Christ, yet often these same individuals neither act nor live as if His return is near. In this meeting, our goal is to encourage all of us to be faithful in living and working for our Lord until He comes back.
“May God abundantly bless the churches of the BMA of America,” is my sincere prayer.
