Marriage Tune Up
2024-10-04 18:00 - 2024-10-05 13:00
Hosted by First Baptist Toccoa, the Marriage Tune-Up Conference offers you the unique chance to tune up and celebrate your marriage in a relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter, insight, and interaction with your spouse.
Jeff and Debby McElroy, founders of Forever Families, Inc., have designed this conference to be unlike any other you’ve attended on marriage. There’s a reason why churches have used Jeff & Debby for multiple events and retreats, and why Chick-fil-A has used them at their WinShape Marriage Retreat as speakers and content developers for the past ten years. As the most sought-after couple in the area of marriage enrichment in the country, Jeff & Debby have used their experience on the national speaking circuit to craft a powerful message with…
Humor.
Let’s face it. We don’t get the chance to laugh enough. That won’t be a problem this weekend. As Jeff and Debby share their look at marriage, you’ll find your ribs hurting – either from laughing so hard, or from your spouse elbowing you! You’ll be amazed at how, in the midst of hilarious, engaging laughter, you’ll find deep…
Insight.
Insight into each other, insight into your marriage, but even more important, insight into how God is at work through many of the very things that seemed like roadblocks in your relationship. Jeff and Debby’s back & forth teaching style will allow you to see and hear it from both the husband and wife’s point-of-view with…
Straight Talk.
No psycho-babble. No abstract theories. Just plain talk from the heart of their marriage to the heart of yours. Jeff and Debby are real. They are transparent about their own struggles and how God has used those struggles to strengthen their relationship. Jeff and Debby want you to walk away with more than just information, they want you to leave knowing you’ve had a life-changing…
Experience.
Throughout the conference, Jeff and Debby will use their award-winning dramas and comedies to allow you to see the teaching anchored in everyday life. They’ll give you time to share with each other. To make memories. To experience something you’ll refer back to for years as a landmark weekend in your marriage.

Week of Prayer for Baptist Associations
2024-10-13 - 2024-10-20

Pray for your Association during the week of October 13-20. Contact Tony Gray for resources to guide your church in this time of prayer. Some material can also be found at www.AMEresources.org.

Joy in His Presence
2025-09-12 - 2025-09-13 | Pinnacle Retreat Center, Clayton GA, 200 Adventure Lane, Clayton, GA
A Joy-Filled Invitation
God wants us to experience abundant joy as we journey along the path He has called each of us to walk. He wants us to take time with Him, nurturing our relationship with Him that will then spill out joy in our relationships with others. We know this, but special time in the Lord’s presence can be hard to come by, and it seems there are so many distractions that rob us of our joy.
You are invited to take some time away with the Lord and like-minded women to rekindle the joy He offers. At the Women on Mission Series, you’ll have an opportunity to laugh and play with other Georgia Baptist Women, worship the Lord together, meditate on His word, and have special prayer time. You will not just have a mountain-top experience, but you will also be equipped with ways to combat those things that try to steal your joy when you get back home into daily life. You’ll be filled to overflow that joy into others in your family and community.

Georgia Baptist Convention Annual Meeting
2025-11-09 - 2025-11-11
Georgia Baptists from across the state are invited to gather November 9–11 at First Baptist Atlanta for the 203rd Annual Meeting of the Georgia Baptist Convention.
With the theme ‘Everyone Everywhere,’ this year’s meeting calls every Georgia Baptist to take part in the mission field right where they live. The Annual Meeting provides an opportunity to come together in that shared mission—to be encouraged, equipped, and unified.
The meeting will begin Sunday evening, Nov. 9, with an inspirational service led by First Baptist Atlanta’s worship and music ministry. The featured speaker will be Dr. Jarrett Stephens, senior pastor of Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. Known for his passion for the Word and the Great Commission, Stephens will challenge and encourage attendees to live out their calling with boldness.
New for 2025, an Evangelism Conference will be incorporated into the annual meeting, taking place on Monday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This day of preaching and equipping is meant to help church leaders and members share the gospel more boldly and clearly in their own communities.
Between the conclusion of the Evangelism Conference and the start of the Monday evening session, attendees can take part in Fireside Chats, hosted in the newly opened First Baptist Atlanta Café. These informal interview-style sessions will highlight encouraging case studies from Georgia churches. Another round of Fireside Chats will take place on Tuesday from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m., during the lunch break.
GBMB Executive Director Thomas Hammond will highlight how God is working throughout Georgia and provide details on a statewide evangelism initiative. He will present updates on key ministries, including Mission Georgia, Disaster Relief, Send Network Georgia, and Baptist Collegiate Ministries. GBC President Steve Browning, lead pastor of First City Church in Alpharetta, will also deliver a message.
