Empire+RBP=Great Combo!

The Empire State Fellowship and Regular Baptist Press (RBP) combined forces to make a dynamic duo during the Empire Fall Conference, hosted by First Baptist Church, Horseheads, NY. Empire churches graciously invited RBP’s team of Andrea Farlow, Mel Walker, Alex Bauman, Jim and Jeannie Vogel, and John and Daria Greening, to present BuildUP Seminars with ministry topics related to children, youth, adults, parents, men, and women to 230 participants. Prior to the Conference, over ninety pastors and leaders attended the Blueprint Seminar taught by the Greenings. In addition to these in-depth seminars, the two-day Conference was jam-packed with messages, music meals, and wonderful fellowship. In the closing session, Craig and Shirley Golden were honored for their twenty years of service as State Representative and wife. The special tribute included a fitting poem and fun skit present by Mike and Joan Spiegel (Newark Valley), and a generous cash gift from the Empire churches to express their gratitude for the Golden’s excellent and faithful ministry.
