Ways to Support the ConventionOne of the best ways to support the National Convention is to attend. Coming to the convention puts you right in the middle of the action and keeps you informed on what's happening in our denomination around the world. It's also a great time of fellowship, encouragement, and equipping for ministry.
However, the convention would not be possible without generous financial support. Special thanks to D6 Family Ministry, the Executive Office, IM, Inc., North American Ministries, and Richland Ave Financial for generous gifts to the National Convention. In addition, we want to recognize Bethel FWB Church (Kinston, NC) and Mercy Hill FWB Church (Wichita, KS) for their financial support.
If your church (or individuals) would like to give a one-time gift or become a regular supporter of the National Convention, you can give below or online at https://nafwb.org/convention/.
