World Missions Conference 2024
All Church Event
Join us on February 22-25 as we learn more about what God is doing around the globe and how we can become even better partners in His mission of taking the gospel to the ends of the earth!
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church in Lusaka, Zambia, as well as Council member of The Gospel Coalition Africa and the Founding Chancellor of the African Christian University, as our speaker. He will focus on this year's theme from Revelation 7:9-10, "Before the Throne: Every Nation, Tribe, People, and Language."
Meal tickets for this weekend are sold out, and KidMission/Nursery reservations are closed; however, all are welcome to attend the speaking events at no charge!

What's New This Year?
- Global Glimpses: You will have four opportunities to hear from and interact directly with our missionary partners throughout the weekend.
- Take a Missionary to Lunch: Get to know a missionary on a personal level over hosting them at home for lunch or taking them to a local Memphis restaurant. Contact the Missions Office to sign up now!
- Overseas Interest Meetings: Learn more about what it would look like for you to go! This is a non-committal time to learn what types of questions to ask, actions to explore, and to have your church leadership pray with and for you.
KidMission / Nursery
For children 5th grade and under, KidMission is a wonderful way to introduce your children to the needs and work of missionaries around the world. This year, they will grab passports and "travel" across the continent of Africa to experience the culture through stories, crafts, interviews with missionaries, and more!
Registration for KidMission and nursery is currently full. Contact Kirsten Scheel at kirsten.scheel@2pc.org if you have questions.
