By Donny Parrish, Conference Director • BMA of America
We are delighted to invite the churches of the BMA of America to gather April 21-23 at Antioch Baptist Church in Conway for the 2026 National Meeting — a special time of homecoming, fellowship, and focus on the Lord’s work for our BMA family. Each year, the National Meeting provides an opportunity for messengers to worship together, celebrate what God is doing through our churches, and prayerfully conduct the business of the association.
We are deeply grateful to the Antioch Baptist Church family for hosting the meeting and for their faithful service to the messengers of the BMA. Their hospitality and support are a true blessing to us all.
Meeting Highlights
Inspirational messages will be brought by BMA of America President Charles Johnson (Rosewood Baptist Church in Gilmer, Texas) and Ashraf Sara (Arabic Living Word Church in Dallas, Texas), who serves as BMA Global’s Arabic People ministry coordinator. Worship will be led by the Antioch Worship Choir and the Worship Team from First Baptist Church in Magnolia.
In addition, Healthy Church Solutions will host the annual Pastors’ Conference, with encouragement tailored to the needs of BMA pastors. The National WMA Women’s Conference, sponsored by the National WMA and hosted by Central Baptist College, will provide inspiration and fellowship.
Messengers will also celebrate what God is doing worldwide through BMA Global church planters and recognize legacy missionaries who have served faithfully through the years.
I am honored to serve as your BMA Conference Director. It is my joy to support you throughout this meeting. If you need assistance or have questions, please contact me at (501) 329-6891 or donny@lifeword.org. I look forward to connecting and serving alongside you.
