February 2019 BBFI National Meeting
Pastors and ministry leaders are often under pressure. As we minister to others, we may become overstressed, depressed, or caught in compulsive behaviors.
As pastors, we are expected to be “On” and ready to make stellar leadership decisions, as well as give inspiring messages, unending compassion, anointed prayer, and words of encouragement at all times. Under such pressure, we may find ourselves feeling spiritually dry, tired of ministry, angry at God, stuck in our spiritual life, or burned out.
You are invited to attend a conference whose goal is to spiritually guide you through these times of being under pressure.
Here are a few of the highlights

LOCATION
FELLOWSHIP WEEK AT SEMINOLE
Because of serious facility issues at BBC, we are working with Pastor Don Baier and Seminole Baptist Temple to plan and host Fellowship Week ‘17. While planning with Pastor Don it really hit me, “We are better together.” It is our hope that through our time “Together” here in Springfield we can rediscover the power of working together. Please make plans to hear the great speakers, renew old friendships, and have your heart encouraged as we come “Together.”
– President Mark Milioni
ALUMNI BREAKFAST
This year at Fellowship Week we have set aside time for our alumni to gather, eat together, and fellowship. This allows all alumni, from the area to participate as well. You can come have breakfast with us and then start your day. What a great way to get all of our alumni together. Each decade will have it’s own time in it’s own room, so that you are able to see and hear from friends you want to get reacquainted with. All breakfasts will be held at the Tower Club in downtown Springfield. Doors open at 7:30am and breakfast starts at 8:00am. Admission is $15.

2016 September National Fellowship Meeting
Welcome Pastors and Church Leaders to Cape Cod Church!
Cape Cod is known worldwide for sandy beaches and beautiful vistas. Thoreau famously said of Cape Cod, “A man may stand there and put all of America behind him." This is a place people come to reflect, refresh, and be inspired. At Cape Cod Church we believe it is also a place to encounter God - with the world behind us, we discover the cross before us.
From the beginning, the Baptist Bible Fellowship has been a part of our story - partnering, mentoring, and celebrating with us since Tammy and I founded Cape Cod Church 24 years ago - so we are very excited to welcome the men and women of our Fellowship to Cape Cod, to serve the churches, pastors, staff, and leaders of the BBFI, and to inspire, encourage, equip, and challenge all who attend.
The BBFI has always been a fellowship of preachers - strong, clear, and convincing voices for the gospel calling people to Christ. Following in that tradition, we have invited a diverse group of voices with a simple request to challenge, encourage, and inspire us for the work of the gospel.
We look forward to hosting you on Cape Cod. Be sure to carve out some time to put the world behind you, to be refreshed, to take in the beauty of the region - and to listen, pray, and be inspired for the work God has put in your heart.
Live Fully!
Ben & Tammy Feldott

Speakers
The BBFI has always been a fellowship of preachers - strong, clear, and convincing voices for the gospel calling people to Christ. Following in that tradition, we have invited a diverse group of voices, with a simple request to challenge, encourage, and inspire us for the work of the gospel.
Our speakers, workshop leaders, and moderators come from churches, classrooms, and boardrooms; they are preachers, teachers, leaders, and authors, and they all come with a common goal - to use their voices to encourage us in our common calling in Christ.
