Thanks for joining us June 19 in Jacksonville, Fla.
2026 BJC Luncheon
We loved gathering with friends and supporters for our BJC Luncheon, as we shared in the work of building a movement.
Want to hear how it went? Baptist News Global wrote an article about the event, titled “BJC speakers inspire with tales of fighting authoritarianism.”
About the Luncheon
Since 1991, BJC has brought together friends and supporters of religious liberty for a time of fellowship and updates on the latest news on our work. The event is open to all, but you must have a ticket to attend.
