2024 General Assembly Prospectus

2024 CBF General Assembly

June 19-21, 2024

Sheraton Greensboro at Four Seasons & Koury Convention Center

Greensboro, N.C.

“You’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.”

Philippians 4:8-9

Overview

CBF General Assembly returns this year to Greensboro, N.C., and you’re invited to join Cooperative Baptists at the Sheraton Greensboro & Koury Convention Center for a week of learning, worship, inspiration and fellowship!

This summer, we are inviting Cooperative Baptists to re:imagine. Together in Greensboro, we will consider transformation through imagination – our own and that of the Holy Spirit moving through us as a community, as well as the transforming quality of re-imagining—revising, reinvigorating, reenergizing, and renewing.

In June, Cooperative Baptists can expect familiar favorites, as well as a few new features that bring us together in community and dive deep into learning together.

One familiar favorite of the event will be our lively exhibit hall called The Gathering Place, which is always a hub of activity. In The Gathering Place, event sponsors and exhibitors will interact with attendees, there will be parties in the aisles, podcast interviews will take place with notable guests, bookstores will be open for participants to peruse, and a CBF Global Missions market and art auction will be filled with items for purchase from around the world.

In Greensboro, The Gathering Place is definitely part of the action—positioned in the heart of the conference center hallways near worship and Learning Lab rooms.

This year’s General Assembly is a moment for your business or organization to:

- Build awareness of your products, services and initiatives among a decision-making audience

- Meet CBF field personnel, CBF-endorsed chaplains and pastoral counselors, clergy, laity, young Baptists and key leaders

- Meet with other CBF partners including theological institutions, missions and ministry partners and advocacy organizations
