SBTC messengers may register online

Messengers to the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention’s annual meeting Nov. 9-11 at Houston’s First Baptist Church can avoid waiting in line at the registration booth this year by registering online, said Tom Campbell, Minister-Church Relations associate.

“Through online registration, messengers won’t have to fill out and bring with them their messenger card,” Campbell said. “It should be quicker and easier to check in, and that is really what we’re going for,” he said.

The SBTC is mailing a letter to churches explaining the new registration process with detailed instructions. Registration at the convention will still be available, Campbell noted, though he said the online option would provide a more efficient registration process.

The convention, with the theme “Still Standing on the Word, Sending to the World,” will include a night of celebration Nov. 10 as the SBTC marks its 10UP>th year. The evening of Nov. 11 will include an appointment service for International Mission Board missionaries.

The convention is preceded Nov. 8 by the Crossover evangelistic events in cooperation with Houston churches, and the SBTC Bible Conference Nov. 9-10. For a full schedule of events, visit sbtexas.com/am08.

If messengers have problems registering online, they may call the SBTC Minister-Church Relations office toll-free at 877-953-SBTC (7282).
