SALTY: The art of personal Evangelism

Gary Stidham
Director of BSM at University of Texas Arlington
​Do you have the desire to share your faith with lost people in your life but struggle to do it? Whether it is fear, apathy, or that you don’t feel equipped, this session will help! Our time together is guaranteed to help you be better equipped to share the gospel effectively and regularly on your campus and in every part of your life. 

how to study scripture

Dr. David Prince
Pastor of Preaching & Vision - Ashland Avenue Baptist Church, Lexington
​Knowing God’s Word more deeply is vital to a healthy relationship with Jesus. It is in God’s Word that we find truth about God, ourselves, and our world. Dr. Prince will discuss how you can better study the truth found in Scripture and apply it to your life. Bring your Bible and be ready to dive deep into God’s Word!

Gender Identity

Dr. Denny Burk
Professor of Biblical Studies at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Director of The Center for Gospel and Culture
With all the talk in our world around gender and sexuality going on, Dr. Burk will bring a Biblical perspective into the conversation. This breakout session will seek to give a Biblical worldview to gender and sexuality, answer questions you may have, and better prepare you to share the hope of Christ with students on your campus in the LGBTQ community. 

Called to ministry/missions?

Matt Flanagan - ​Children & Student Ministry Consultant - KBC
What does it mean to be called by God? How do I know if God is calling me to vocational ministry? How do I know if God is calling me to leverage my career for missions in the future? Matt will lead a discussion around these questions and others related to discerning God’s call on your life.

COVID-19 Guidelines

  1. A Pre-Camp Screening Checklist must be completed and turned into your church/campus leader prior to arriving at Converge. You will receive that upon registration or you can find it here.  
  2. Masks must be worn at all times, in the proper way, while in an indoor space (ie: auditoriums, meeting rooms, common areas in cabins, MAC, dining hall). The only exception being when a person is sitting stationary, participating in recreational activities (i.e. Basketball, Archery Tag, Dodgeball, etc.) and actively eating and drinking in the dining hall. Once you finish eating you must put the mask back on before getting up and moving around.
  3. Students must eat only at their assigned time for meals and leave promptly after finishing their meal before the next group of students arrive. We wish to eliminate any overlap of groups in the dining hall so that we can limit the number of people in the dining room at one time without masks on.
