2025-10-11 08:30 - 15:30 | Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, 1600 N 291 HWY, Liberty, MO, 64068, United States

Whether you are walking through personal struggles, supporting someone you love, or leading others in your church or community, Flourish offers a space to pause, reflect, and grow. You will hear from trusted voices, including keynote speakers Merle and Karen Mees
Mental health challenges impact individuals, families, and communities in profound ways, often leaving people feeling isolated or unsure of where to turn. Flourish is a Christian mental health conference designed to bridge the gap between clinical mental health and biblical faith, providing evidence-based strategies for emotional well-being while staying grounded in spiritual truth.

The conference will feature keynote speakers Merle and Karen Mees, focusing on the essential practice of soul care. By restoring rhythms of rest, renewal, and deep relational connection with God and others, we can move from survival to true flourishing. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in breakout sessions, designed to explore key areas of mental and emotional well-being from both clinical and biblical perspectives. These sessions will provide practical tools and insights for personal healing, deeper self-awareness, and strengthening relationships with God and others.
Whether you are seeking personal healing, supporting others in their mental health journey, or leading within your church or community, Flourish provides a space to explore the barriers that keep us stuck and the pathways—both clinical and biblical—that lead to true restoration.

Executive Director Wes Fowler and the staff of the Missouri Baptist Convention are hosting a dinner for bi-vocational pastors and their wives Oct. 27 at the MBC Annual Meeting in Branson.
The dinner begins at 5 p.m. in the Taneycomo A&B ballroom of the Branson Hilton Convention Center. It features a welcome and “thank you” message from Fowler, as well as gifts for each pastor and his wife.
“I am so grateful for the ministry of bi-vocational pastors across our state,” said Fowler. “They are oftentimes the unsung heroes of Missouri Baptist life. While they may not regularly be in the spotlight, the Lord sees their faithfulness, and the MBC appreciates their dedication. We simply want to acknowledge the faithful ministry of our bi-vocational pastors, as well as their wives, and encourage them to continue serving the Lord.”
There is no cost to attend the dinner, but registration by Oct. 17 is required.

Summer of BBQ
2026-07-06 11:45 - 13:00 | Off the Hook BBQ, 7506 N Oak Trafficway, Gladstone, 64118, United States
Our first Summer of BBQ gathering was a great success, with pastors enjoying good food, fellowship, and plenty of conversation around the table. Since there seemed to be a strong appetite for both the smoked meat and the camaraderie, we’re keeping the tradition going! The concept remains simple: on the first Monday of each month this summer, we’ll gather at a different KC-area BBQ restaurant for a relaxed time of fellowship. No agenda, no program—just pastors sharing a meal, building relationships, and enjoying some of Kansas City’s finest barbecue together.
This month we’ll gather on Monday, July 6, at 11:45 a.m. at Off the Hook BBQ in Gladstone. So, pastors, come join us for some burnt ends, brisket, pulled pork, and great conversation. And, just like last month, it will be BYOBBQ
