FROM THE PRESIDENT
Greetings, Progressive Constituency, Visitors, and Friends!
It is my distinct pleasure to welcome and greet you to 110th Annual Session of the Progressive Missionary and Educational Baptist State Convention of Florida, Inc.
We have gathered in the city of Crestview, known as the “Emerald Coast” of our state, and in a location where it has been declared by our members who reside in this area that “The Best Is in The West! We have come from across the state to celebrate another year that God has favored Progressive Convention and allowed us to assemble one more time.
Words are inadequate to express my profound appreciation to Reverend Sanford Hayes and the New Life M. B. Church family, as well as Dr. Delwynn Williams, Moderator of the Progressive of West Florida Association and the Pastors and member churches for their diligent planning and preparations to ensure our comfort and session this week would be a 5-Star memorable week for us.
I pray that each of you have come this week with great anticipation of having a glorious, Spirit-filled session in Crestview! Most importantly we want to leave Crestview having made a difference in the lives of the citizens who may not have yet accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. Let’s lift His name high inside and outside of the buildings, as we go tell and exemplify His character.
Have a great session in your various ministries and may each of you have a safe trip as you travel back home.
Reverend Dr. Bartholomew Banks, President
