The first year of pre-registration for the annual meeting of the Baptist General Association of Virginia was “outstanding,” says a key organizer of the effort.

Kirby Knight, web and teaching resource coordinator for the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, said response from messengers who pre-registered by mail and internet has been “very positive.”

A total of 1,345 messengers attended the annual meeting in Roanoke. However, 1,662 actually registered, said Knight. That number includes messengers, visitors and reporters, as well as people who registered but did not attend the meeting.

A total of 1,040 people-or 63 percent of total registration-pre-registered, said Knight, who hopes to increase that percentage next year. “But this is an outstanding first effort,” he said.
