FALL & SPRING BUSINESS SESSIONS
The business of West Florida Baptist Association is conducted through several meetings during the year.  The 2 main business sessions are the Fall Annual Session on the last Tuesday in October and the Spring Semi-Annual Session on the third Tuesday (occasionaly adjusted to accommodate spring break) in March of each year.  The voting members of these sessions are elected by each church although, everyone is invited to attend.  We try to keep the business portion of these two meetings to a minimum and enjoy a time of spiritual uplifting and fellowship.
