Welcome to the
First Baptist Church
W. T. Webb Christian Leadership School Leadership Conference!...

Welcome from the Dean

  I am excited to welcome each of you to the 2024 First Baptist Church W. T. Webb Christian Leadership School!!!

The Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent God has called us, given us His Word and equipped us to carry out the Great Commision, once again, through the First Baptist Church W. T. Webb Christian Leadership School. I thank God for the continued exponential growth our CLS has had over the past five years, as we embarked upon our second annual Christian Leadership School. With your continued participation and the referrals of your family and friends, we can reach our goal to double last year’s enrollment and expand our reach globally. A curriculum has been prepared to enhance your spiritual growth and development and we look forward to your sharing in these meaningful experiences. The Opening ceremony will be virtual and on site, Wednesday, January 31, 2024, at 6:30 P.M. CST. Rev. Dr. Claybon Lea, Jr., pastor of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Fairfield and Suisun, CA will be the speaker.

First Baptist Church W. T. Webb CLS will continue to support our National Baptist Convention, USA, INC., to undergird the National Theme, “Making the World a Better Place: Engaging in the Work of Evangelism and Social Justice at Church and the Community,” Scriptural References: Matthew 28:19 and Matthew 5:16.

During such a time as this, God’s Word is going forth throughout the United States and has reached a broader audience with the use of technology and emphasis on current and improved teaching methods to train students, instructors, dean, ministers, church leaders and those interested in personal development. It is our prayer that God will bless us to reach an international audience as mandated in the Great Commission to spread the gospel everywhere and to teach and nurture disciples.

The Sunday School Publishing Board has updated its requirements for virtual instruction as you will note in the schedule change. God has showered us with the blessing and advancement of technology which will permit the achievement class requirements for those in COPP and other programs in Christian education.

It is with humble elation that I extend sincere gratitude to my pastor, Rev. William L. Watson, for the assignment and his support throughout the process of planning and the implementation of the CLS and our dedicated Dean of Record, Mrs. Mary L. Watkins, Mrs. Karen Reid, Administrator, Ms. Khadija Payne, technology; students throughout the United States (possibly internationally), and Spirit-filled instructors who have shared their experience and expertise this week. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

Sarah Minor Chatman, Dean
