Welcome to the 2026 mbWorship Conference! The Missouri Baptist Convention is partnering with worship leaders from around the state for an inspiring two-day conference filled with teaching, music, breakouts, and fellowship March 13-14 at Concord Baptist Church in Jefferson City MO. This event is perfect for anyone who desires to grow deeper in their understanding of worship in the context of the local church and beyond. We are excited to have Concord’s worship pastor and author Dr. Brad Newbold as our keynote speaker. Brad will share from his book, The Worship Target: Growing Gracious and Holy Affections Through Congregational Worship.

We are also looking forward to having award-winning artist, songwriter, worship pastor, author, and arranger Travis Cottrell as our featured worship leader for the event.

Come ready to be encouraged and equipped to lead others in worship. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to connect with fellow church leaders, worship leaders, and musicians. See you there!
