Messenger Registration Cards By Request Only

Midsummer computerized imprinted messenger registration cards will be sent only as requested by the churches. The old messenger registration cards are no longer valid.

Each elected messenger should bring with him/her to the convention a properly endorsed messenger certification card and driver's license or other identification. Persons without the computer messenger cards will need to be approved by the Credentials Committee, thus slowing the registration process.

Midsummer each church will receive a request card that should be completed and returned promptly to the BGCT Executive Director's Office indicating the number of messenger cards the church is entitled to and will use. Mission congregations are a part of their sponsoring church.
