Learning to Pray with Abandon
2026-04-14 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago) | Madison-Chester Baptist Association, 2035 North Parkway, Jackson, TN, United States
Prayer is often described as the lifeblood of the Christian faith—a direct line of communication with God. To pray with abandon is to approach God with complete openness and vulnerability.
Scripture offers numerous examples: King David pouring out his soul in the Psalms, Hannah weeping bitterly before the Lord, and Jesus praying with such intensity in Gethsemane. These prayers were raw, real, and powerful.
In prayer, it’s easy to focus on our needs, desires, and requests. While God invites us to bring our petitions before Him, there is a deeper invitation. Looking at the Lord’s Prayer, we read, “Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.” To seek God’s face is to pursue His presence, character, and heart above all else. It’s the difference between wanting what God can give us and wanting God Himself.
This training is for pastors, ministers, and laypersons.

World Water Day
2026-03-22 | Statewide, TN, United States
World Water Day is held March 22 every year. Churches can observe the day by praying for communities across the world that do not have access to clean water.
Throughout the world, people are at constant risk of contracting a disease or parasites from their water. Many are forced to carry heavy jugs of water for miles just to be sure their families have clean, healthy water. For others, the prospect of clean water is simply non-existent.

Disciple Now Weekend
2026-02-27 - 2026-03-01 | Carson Springs Baptist Conference Center, 1120 Carson Springs Rd., Newport, TN, United States
Connect is a Disciple Now weekend that will be conducted at Carson Springs. The goal is to provide a low cost weekend for students that will focus on discipleship. The weekend will be conducted much like a normal Disciple Now weekend but in a camp setting. A speaker and a worship band will be provided. This event will be three days and two nights. Each church will bring their students and provide the appropriate number of leaders. Disciples Now material will be provided for each church leader to conduct four breakout sessions during their stay. We will also conduct a work project on campus and organized activities on Saturday.
The cost is $60 per student but each church will budget an allotted amount to cover the extra expenses. This would include housing, meals, t-shirt, speaker and band. Churches will make a commitment for what they will contribute before the weekend begins.

Reset Conference - West TN
2026-02-26 10:00 - 14:00 UTC | Calvary Baptist Church Jackson, 119 Oil Well Rd, Jackson, TN, United States
Reset is an opportunity to unplug and return to the settings as designed by the creator. Like a computer or electronic device, sometimes we need to unplug, albeit briefly, and be recalibrated to our factory settings.
Do you ever feel a bit lost in ministry? Like you have lost your way, lost your heart for what you are doing? Lost direction? If so, you need a reset. It’s not like you have wandered far off, dove deep into the pool of sin. You have just gotten lost in the busyness of ministry.
Come aside for a few hours. Unplug from the demands, the needs, the “to do list”. Jesus calls you like He did His disciples in Mark 6:31. Spend some time with Jesus. Spend some time with friends. Spend some time hearing from the Master. Unplug. Reset.
Maybe you are like David when he prayed, “Restore to me the joy of my salvation” (Psalm 51:12). Your joy has been sapped by demands, by expectations, by hurts, by personal negligence and sin. You want to feel joy again. Is it even possible?
Jesus said He came to give us joy—abundant joy. The factory setting for a man of God is abundant joy, but you’re just not feeling it. But you want it, deep in your soul, you crave it.
Let’s come together. Let’s explore how we can find it again.
In this year’s Reset workshop, we will focus on the Minister’s Spiritual Health and Emotional/Mental Health. How do we stay healthy in ministry? How do we stay spiritually vibrant? How do we stay emotionally well/mentally well when all the demands come upon us? Join us as we Reset together.
Conference will start at 10:00 AM and end at 2:00 PM. A box lunch will be provided. Conference fee is $10.

2026 Focus on WMU Sunday
2026-02-15 | Statewide, TN, United States
Focus on WMU is an intentional time to celebrate what God is doing through WMU in your church to reach the world with the good news of Jesus Christ.
Ideas for celebrating Focus on WMU Sunday:

Ask your pastor for time during the morning worship service to have someone share a WMU testimony/story. Look for someone whose life has been impacted by her mission involvement. Keep the testimony limited to the time the pastor gives you.
Create a slideshow to share with your church using photos that tell the story of your mission groups and recent missions efforts.
Design a bulletin insert, social media presentation, bulletin board or other display showing the big picture of WMU in your church. Highlight support of mission work and missionaries, special missions offerings, mission action projects, details about missions discipleship group meetings, upcoming events, prayer prompts, etc.
Kick off Focus on WMU Sunday with a churchwide missions project that gets church members outside the walls of the church giving hands-on missions experience.
Invite a Tennessee WMU staff member or another state WMU officer/leader to share with your church in person or virtually during worship or during a gathering of your women.

Check out these articles from national WMU for more ideas.
