SCBI Annual Meeting 2020
State Convention of Baptists in Indiana Update:
Your SCBI staff team, convention officers and the Executive Board Administrative Committee have been paying close attention to the current conditions in our state as it relates to the Covid-19 Pandemic. With upticks in cases in a number of areas in our state and in the Indianapolis area, it has been decided that in the interest of protecting our churches and messengers, this year’s 2020 State Convention of Baptists in Indiana, Annual Meeting has been canceled.
We will do an online report and inspirational moments that we will let you know about very soon. We regret that it is necessary to make this decision, but it is believed that this will be in the best interest of our churches.
Be watching the SCBI.org web page for updates about the on-line plans.
In the August SCBI Executive Board meeting, the authority to make this decision was given to the Executive Director, President of the Convention and Chairman of the Board.
In Christ,
Bobby

I can’t tell you how sad I am to post this today. Because COVID is still causing so many to be hesitant to commit to any statewide event, I am afraid we need to cancel the Girls Weekend. Covid has caused so many things to be canceled and has led to so much disappointment for so many of our kids and students, but in all of this unknown, we can know that God is faithful and will bring us back together again! If you have already registered and paid, your fee will be refunded.
Please keep the SCBI leadership in your prayers as we try to find ways to make events work. We are in the process of planning camp for kids and students so be sure to keep that on your calendar. You will be able to register your kids and students as a group or individually soon at www.scbi.org

I pray in the name of Jesus for the Lord to do a powerful thing in his Church during this pandemic, even if our events are canceled! Thank you for all you do!
I know it is hard but you are making the right decision. It is for just this season.
Men of SCBI,
It is with regret that I am posting this information. In light of the fact that COVID is still causing so many to be hesitant to commit to any statewide event, I am afraid we need to punt this year’s conference. I hate to do this, I’m tired of getting kicked in the teeth by COVID every time we turn around, but I think it would be wise to forego this year and redouble our efforts for next year. If you have already registered and paid, your fee will be refunded.
Please keep all of us in leadership at SCBI in your prayers as we all try to find ways to make events work, even if we have to make them more local, smaller, and more often. We will get over this and we will be stronger and we will look forward to how the Father is going to lead us in better and brighter ways in the coming year. Bring on ’21!!! #ihatecovid #done with2020 ... See MoreSee Less

I am sorry for you but a wise decision. We appreciate the godly leadership.
I was afraid of that. I completely understand, but I'm disappointed. Love you, Brother Jim!
