The Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America (ARBCA) will hold its 2010 General Assembly on April 20 thru 22 at Grace Baptist Church in Taylors, South Carolina. The keynote speakers this year include Dr. Sam Waldron, dean of Midwest Center for Theological Studies and a pastor of Heritage Baptist Church, Owensboro, Kentucky; Dr. Jim Adams, pastor of Cornerstone Church in Mesa, Arizona; and Missionary David Vaughn church-planter of Eglise Réformée Baptiste du Grésivaudan in Grenoble, France. The theme this year is the church, and the speakers will address themes that promote a biblical vision of a balanced church

• where Christ is central and there is a passion for the glory of God in all things, and specifically in every area of church life.
• where the Holy Spirit has made the church to be alive with joyful and serious personal godliness, fervent worship, energetic fellowship, with real life and spiritual vitality, and not by employing artificial measures to accomplish it.
• where the missionary vision is strong, where men are being raised up to answer the call, and who will go to evangelize sinners, plant churches, and train men to lead those churches. Whether here or there, churches should be forward thinking about strategies and plans to reach out and reproduce themselves.
