Fortify, across Florida

The Fortify Initiative is an abuse prevention and response training model for Southern Baptist local associations and state/regional conventions. The Florida Baptist Conference of Associational Leaders has partnered with the SBC Executive Committee to make Fortify trainings accessible across the state of Florida.
