Beyond Borders: An Evening of Inspiration, Unity, and Celebration
One of the most anticipated highlights of the Southern Conference's 61st Annual Meeting, Beyond Borders: One Church, One Mission, One World, will be the special Beyond Borders Dinner and Drama Experience on Friday evening, June 19, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
This unique event will bring us together across cultures, communities, and traditions for an unforgettable evening of fellowship, food, and faith-filled entertainment. Attendees are encouraged to celebrate the global spirit of our theme by wearing international attire as we gather to experience the richness of God's diverse family.
The evening will feature a special presentation by Good News Ministry, performing their inspiring production, "Unity in the Community." This powerful ministry was birthed out of Rock Spring United Church of Christ, where Rev. Kelvin Belle serves as pastor. Through drama, storytelling, and faith, the production explores the importance of building bridges, overcoming divisions, and embracing the strength that comes when communities unite in purpose and love.
As we gather under the theme Beyond Borders, this performance serves as a timely reminder that the Church's mission extends beyond geography, culture, race, language, and circumstance. We are called to be one body in Christ, sharing God's love with a world in need of hope, understanding, and unity.
