Welcome to BASS 2019!BASS Attendees,

As leaders in Christian churches all over Northern California God has given us a great opportunity to gather once again for the BASS Church Workers Convention, and we are so glad you’re here! The BASS Leadership Team has been anticipating this weekend and praying for all who are involved in this conference – attenders and presenters alike. Our primary aim is that absolutely everything we do – from workshops to our times of corporate worship, from setup to teardown – is done to the glory of God. Additionally, we aim to work hard and with joy to ensure that all who come to BASS have an amazing time of fellowship and growth and training in ministry as you are encouraged and fortified by the truth of the gospel.

Amazingly, this ministry has continued uninterrupted in Northern California for over 50 years. We trust that you will be blessed by the ministry of our speakers and workshop leaders this weekend. Don’t miss out on visiting our many faithful exhibitors who have joined us to equip you with resources that will help to support your church’s ministry. We invite you to make the most of this amazing weekend as we inspire, connect, equip, and train future generations of leaders in the church.

NO CHILDREN PLEASEWhile we obviously love children, in fairness to attendees and to those who purchase recordings, we must recognize that the BASS convention is an adult education event. Fire regulations do not permit strollers in aisles or blocking classroom doorways. Likewise, distractions from children can prohibit the recording ministry from being able to produce good, clear recordings. Therefore, we ask that you please do not bring children to the convention.

There are also numerous restaurants, including many fast-food restaurants, within one mile of the convention.
