The IBSA Annual Meeting is the premiere gathering of the Illinois Baptist network of churches. This year’s meeting is held at Metro Community Church in Edwardsville, just 30 minutes northeast of St. Louis. The Pastors Conference is built on 1 Peter 1:8, with the theme “Unspeakable Joy.” The gathering will uplift the spirits of pastors by pointing them to the joy found in Christ, and features preaching by nationally known speakers like Fred Luter, Chip Luter, and Cam Triggs, as well as IBSA Network pastors from across the state.
