Special Guests
Calvary Baptist Church is thrilled to welcome CHRIS ANDERSON as keynote speaker at Mission Conference 2026. Chris served as a pastor for 25 years and spent three years working in international missions with Biblical Ministries Worldwide. In 2006, he became the full-time president of Church Works Media, which he co-founded. He is the author of six books, a contributor to the Gospel Meditations devotional series, and a writer of numerous hymns including His Robes for Mine and Lord, Build Your Church (that our choir will sing on Sept. 20).
A Bible teacher and missions catalyst, Chris frequently speaks in churches, colleges, and conferences. He and his wife Lori enjoy life with their adult children and their sweet granddaughter.
KEITH AND WENDY HOCK join us at our mission conference this year! Calvary Baptist Church supports them as our missionaries in Uruguay. God used Keith and Wendy to plant Iglesia Bíblica en Parque Batlle in Montevideo and the church continues to grow through Sunday services, Bible studies, youth ministry, evangelism, and a Bible institute. God blessed Keith and Wendy with five children: Elizabeth, Matthew, David, Timothy, and Samuel. CBC recently took on David and his wife Silvia as supported missionaries. Samuel and his wife Mary (and son, Lucas) left to serve in Mexico on September 30th.
