ALEXANDRIA – College students and those soon to be are invited to the annual Collegiate Evangelism Conference, set for Feb. 6-7 at Calvary Baptist Church in Alexandria.
“What sets CEC apart from other conferences is the incredibly quality of the program personalities,” said Mark Robinson, director of the Louisiana Baptist Convention’s Collegiate Ministries team, host of the Cooperative Program-sponsored event. “The worship leaders, speakers and venue is always amazing, but the distinguishing factor has historically been the quality of seminar teachers.
“Students get seminary-level training condensed into a short 24-hour conference,” he continued. “I am so thankful for the teaching and leadership people that we have at our Seminary, Louisiana College and churches around the state.”
Robby Gallaty, senior pastor of Brainerd Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tenn., and a New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary graduate, will be the main speaker. Radically saved from a life of drug addiction on Nov. 12, 2002, Gallaty is the founder of Replicate Ministries whose main goal is to educate, equip and empower believers to make disciples.
Leading music will be Jon Shirley.
He is worship leader, pastor, disciple maker and missional practitioner at a church called the Gathering Network in Kansas City, Mo. This network of missional communities exists with the purpose of following Jesus to make things right. Shirley has more than 20 years of experience as a church leader, song writer and recording artist.
Registration for CEC begins Feb. 6 at 5:30 pm, with the main session starting at 7:30 pm.
The conference concludes at 5 pm on Feb. 7.
The conference fee is $35 for each attendee.
One adult leader per group may attend for free. The first 150 high school junior and seniors receive a special reduced rate of $15.
