Convention Wrap-UpThe 2026 National Convention is in the books! Free Will Baptists from 33 states, 3 territories, and 11 countries joined us in Columbus for a great week!
Worship services are available for viewing on the NAFWB Facebook. (The Wednesday night service will be posted soon—the Media Commission is editing the service to protect workers from restricted access countries.)
View and/or download Convention Photos (free) from the week thanks to Photographer Rodney Yerby and his team of volunteers.
Watch the IMPACT Columbus video, recapping the service projects attendees participated in at local Free Will Baptist churches. The Obituary Video honors the lives and ministry of ministers who passed in 2025.

D6 Curriculum is a four-year Scripture pathway designed to align church and home, equipping every generation with tools that make discipleship part of everyday life. Be the first to know when it launches this September, because the generation in your care is worth a plan this intentional.
