South Carolina Baptist Ministry Assistants Association
2026 Annual Meeting
THEME: More Precious than Pearls
God often uses discomfort not to punish, but to shape. Just like an oyster creates a pearl through the irritation of a grain of sand, we’re shaped by the very things that unsettle us. So, where is God putting pressure on your life or work right now?
Join us as we encourage each other!
