Millennials and the Church: How Do We Get Millennials to Try God With Us? – Dr. Brianna Parker
Dr. Brianna Parker has wrestled with the generational divide experienced in many churches. Her work has led her to conclude,
“To get millennials to come back to church, welcome them into a relationship that allows mutual and reciprocal growth. Make space for questions that may be uncomfortable and seem “inappropriate.” This may require that clergy and church leaders be well-trained (theologically and culturally).”
Rev. Dr. Brianna Parker
Founding Curator of the Black Millennial Café, Pastor of Assimilation at Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, Tx and Chaplain at Paul Quinn College.
Come and spend time with Dr. Parker and begin to wrestle with the millennial reality.

Pastor's Track – Mr. Paul Msiza, President, Baptist World Alliance
Ngwedla Paul Msiza
President, Baptist World Alliance
As the new Baptist World Alliance President, Paul Msiza will focus on the BWA’s five year theme of “Jesus Christ, the Door.” He states that “the door speaks about freedom, emphasizes the issue of liberty—freedom of religion, freedom of worship, freedom for justice. The people need to be set free from all sorts of shackles.” Pastors and clergy will be guided in a rich discussion of how to emphasize issues of justice without abandoning preaching the gospel of conversion.
