I Corinthians 3:10-11

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Welcome to Washington, D.C.!

The 92nd Annual Session of the National Baptist Deacons’ Convention of America, Inc. and Its Auxiliaries

Theme: “Building on a Firm Foundation” – 1 Corinthians 3:10–11


It is with great joy and heartfelt enthusiasm that we look forward to welcoming you to the 92nd Annual Session of the National Baptist Deacons’ Convention of America, Inc. and Its Auxiliaries, convening in our nation’s capital—Washington, D.C. This year’s session is graciously hosted by the General Baptist Deacons Association of Washington, D.C. and Vicinity, under the leadership of President Deacon Holloway Coats.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our National President, Deacon Curtis Smith, for his faithful leadership and vision as we continue “Building on a Firm Foundation.” The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:10–11 that no other foundation can be laid than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. As we come together for workshops during the day and worship services in the evening, may we be renewed in our commitment to serve with love, lead with faith, and build our ministries, families, and communities upon that solid Rock—Christ Jesus.

We are grateful for the hospitality and partnership of our host Church in making this year’s gathering a spiritually enriching experience.

While you are here, we encourage you to take in the beauty and history of the nation’s capital. Enjoy the inspiring exhibits at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, explore the Museum of the Bible, tour the White House, and experience the rich heritage that surrounds you. Don’t forget to explore the nearby shopping, dining, and cultural attractions that make Washington, D.C., and the surrounding area so special.

We are delighted to host you at the elegant Hilton Alexandria Mark Center Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, where comfort and fellowship await.

On behalf of National President Deacon Curtis Smith, the Host Association, and our Convention Family, we say welcome in advance! We look forward to a blessed week of inspiration, renewal, and unity as we continue Building on a Firm Foundation—Serving with Love, Leading with Faith.
