Victoria Awbrey at the 2024 SBC Annual Meeting in Indianapolis.

Awbrey named to SBC’s Dallas Team

May 19, 2025 By Illinois Baptist Staff

Victoria Awbrey returns to the Registration Committee for the 2025 Annual Meeting in June. She was one of 26 members appointed by SBC President Clint Pressley.

The registration committee is called “to supervise the registration of messengers, to oversee the operations of the registration desk, and to rule upon any questions which may arise in registration concerning the credentials of messengers” per SBC Bylaw 8.

“I am confident that this committee, representative of Southern Baptists across our convention, will serve our messengers well in Dallas,” Pressley said.

Awbrey is the wife of IBSA Leadership Director Michael Awbrey. She is a member of Tremont Baptist Church, and she volunteered to work with the registration team in Indianapolis last year.

She said at the time, “(This meeting) is something I look forward to every year. In fact, my birthday often falls over convention. And I like to say I enjoy spending my birthday at a good Baptist business meeting!”

Dallas | Messengers to the 2025 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Dallas June 10-11 arrived at the probability that motions from the floor on women and the pastorate, financial transparency, and the fate of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission would dominate the discussion.
