2008 General Assembly
April 25-26
First Baptist Church, Columbia

CBF of Missouri is pleased to welcome songwriter, performer and speaker Kyle Matthews to its General Assembly, April 25-26 at First Baptist Church in Columbia. Matthews will conduct the Leadership Seminar on Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and perform in concert beginning at 7 p.m. Friday night.

In almost two decades of writing and performing his songs, Kyle Matthews has emerged as one of Christian music’s most prolific songwriters. Of his over 60 cuts by major artists of disparate genres, he has penned such well known songs as "If You Want Me To," recorded by Ginny Owens, "Everything and Nothing," recorded by Vince Gill, "One and the Same," recorded by Cece Winans, "God Forbid," recorded by Point of Grace, and "Been Thru the Water," recorded by Kyle.

Kyle’s song "We Fall Down," recorded most notably on a multi-platinum release by Donnie McClurkin, won numerous music industry awards, including the Dove Award for Traditional Gospel Song of the Year, the Stellar award for Song of the Year, and ASCAP’s 2002 Christian Song of the Year.

Leadership Seminar
Matthews’ Leadership Seminar topic is "Ending the Worship Wars." No internal struggle has done more to divide and damage local churches in recent years than the debate over style preferences in worship. After years of study and consulting with local churches, Kyle has developed a process that can lead churches toward healing by gently raising the level of discourse from that of mere style preference to the level of those biblical concepts that matter to us all the most. This seminar comes complete with methods for worship planning that will ensure that the style-level debate doesn’t come back to haunt the church after the seminar is over.
