From The President’s Desk

Grace and Peace!

I pray this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well. It is with deep humility and gratitude that I accept the honor of serving as President of our beloved Connecticut State Missionary Baptist Convention.

I am extremely grateful for those who have accepted appointments to serve with me during this term. I believe our collective strength will guide us forward and elevate our Convention as we embrace this inaugural year as “Our Year of Trusting God’s Guidance.”

These are indeed challenging times. Yet, even amid uncertainty, we are reminded to hold fast to our faith:

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” — James 1:12

Thank you for your continued encouragement and support. Let us press on together in unity, committed to building the Kingdom of God here on earth.

With Heartfelt Appreciation,
Rev. David E. Penn, Sr.
