"25 People in BTSR's 25 Years"

In anticipation of BTSR's 25th Anniversary Celebration happening October 17, 2016, last month we launched "25 People in BTSR's 25 Years," a social media celebration of BTSR's story. Follow along on Facebook, every Monday and Thursday, and catch a glimpse of our unique narrative from 25 firsthand witnesses. If you aren't on Facebook, just head to the BTSR website to enjoy this special feature.

 
Richmond's First Baptist Church
Monday, October 17, 2016

The evening will feature a panel moderated by Ron Crawford, featuring Tom Graves, BTSR's first President, Linda Bridges, BTSR's first full-time elected faculty member, Isam Ballenger, BTSR's first professor of Missiology and founder of the Mission Immersion Program, and Mary Strauss, BTSR's first chair of the Board of Trustees. Come hear their stories and share in an exciting night that celebrates our past and looks ahead to our bright future.


Sponsorship includes eight (8) tickets to the event on Monday, October 17th at Richmond's First Baptist Church, and acknowledgement in promotional materials and during the event that evening.
