As independent Baptists, we need to be educated on the issues and challenged to be involved. Our next ONE Voice for Liberties Conference will be September 26-27, 2019.  Lodging suggestions are given near the end of this page.

Location

Pastor Don Sumpter and the Landmark Baptist Church will again host our meeting. The church is east of Richmond at 4000 Creighton Rd, Richmond, VA 23223. It is located near to I-295 off exit 34B about 2 miles west on Creighton Rd.

Registration

Please register so we can prepare materials for all who attend. Be sure to include others who may be attending with you. Registration begins April 1. The registration form is at the top of this page.

Cost

VAIB does not charge to attend the conference but does depend on the donations of churches and individuals to make this conference possible.

VAIB is a 501(c)3 organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Capitol Tour

The Capitol Tour is free. Transportation will be provided from Landmark Baptist Church at 12:30 and will return by 4 PM. The tour will last one hour and involves much walking. The tour path is ADA compliant and a few wheelchairs are available upon request. The bus is leaving at 12:30 to allow time for each person to enjoy lunch before the tour. Lunch may be purchased at the SunTrust Building Cafeteria at a reasonable cost. After the tour, Eddy Aliff will be available for a fifteen minute overview of how the General Assembly session operates in our historic Capitol. The bus will load at 4:00 PM at the Bank Street entrance to the Capitol and return to Landmark Baptist Church.
