Welcome to BASS 2020!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, exhibitors 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.

We rejoice that this ministry has continued uninterrupted in Northern California for over 50 years. We look forward to hearing from Andrew McCourt, Curt Harlow, and Dr. Buckner as they lead our General Sessions, and trust that you will be blessed by the ministry of our 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.
