Hope Worth Sharing: 185th Annual Meeting of the NGRBA

The NGRBA Annual Meeting was August 22, 2026, at the Rural Dale Baptist Church with 52 in attendance. There were 10 pastors, 40 messengers and 12 guests. Thirteen churches were represented at this year's meeting.

Pastor E.J. Barnes of Modena Baptist Church gave the annual message titled “Let us HOPE: Hold On to God's Personage & Promises Endlessly." 

There were reports from mission groups, NGRBA teams and the annual memorial service.

At the end of the meeting, we were treated to an excellent meal organized by the members of Rural Dale Baptist Church.

What a joy to gather together—and what a reminder that, because our hope is in Christ, we have every reason to move forward with confidence and faith.
