Greetings Everyone: All NCCB Members, all those on the NCCB Email List, and all those on the NCCB Mailing List! Includes all 'firsttimers' and all those who are interested in attending the NCCB Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma!

NCCB Board of Directors cordially invite you all to attend the NCCB 2027 Conference. We are looking forward to seeing you in Tulsa, Oklahoma, August 7–13, 2027.  Let’s make our plans early!

Those traveling from out of town arrive on Saturday, August 7th, check-in is 3 p.m. and you’ll check out on Friday, August 13th before 12 noon, for a total six-night stay.

We’ll hold our conference meetings at The DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton-Warren Place, 6110 South Yale Avenue, Tulsa, OK 74136 in the Parkview East meeting room. Please call (918) 495-1000 to make your hotel room reservations; cutoff date to make your reservation is July 26, 2027. The room rate is $109.00 plus taxes and fees. It’s an early date to make your room reservation but the hotel will release rooms blocked off for NCCB on July 27, 2027.

Our Bible Teacher delivers a Bible message on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings.

The Theme Committee have selected the following theme for this year’s conference “Walking in Faith” Hebrews 13:1-25 so you may prepare for the evening messages.

Sunday Morning Church Service on August 8th, begins at 10 a.m. All other morning meetings begin at 9 a.m. with Prayer and Praise, opening prayer, songs of praise, a devotional, special music, etc. The Sunday Bible message will be delivered. We’ll break for lunch at about 12:00 noon or maybe a little earlier.

The Bible messages will be on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday evenings at the 7:30 p.m. meetings. 

You will be inspired by God’s word as you attend NCCB workshops on Monday and Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Please start by getting your transportation to Tulsa lined up and make hotel reservations, so you make certain you’re ready to go. Transportation to and from the airport will be provided by the hotel which is complimentary free shuttle service. At the time you call the hotel reservation clerk, make the hotel aware of the number of days you’re staying at the DoubleTree Hotel, you will be expected to inform the reservation clerk with the exact dates of the nights you will stay; give the date you plan to check in and the date you plan to check out.  It is important that you tell the reservation clerk that your room reservation is to be placed in the block of rooms set aside for the NCCB conference from August 7th till the 13th, 2027.

Let’s say it is important to you that you ask the hotel clerk for a letter or an email of confirmation. If your plans are to stay at the hotel less than six nights, or that you will check in later in the conference week, or earlier, then you must inform the reservation clerk exactly what nights you will stay.

Those who live in the local Tulsa metro area, or nearby towns, you are encouraged to lodge at the hotel for convenience in attending all the meetings, the free breakfast, and all the extra activities and this gives you time to fellowship and enjoy your meals together.

You will make your own hotel reservations, and you’ll pay the hotel directly for your room charges and if any, incidentals.

The person who makes the hotel reservation provides their credit card number to hold the room, and they will be totally responsible for paying the entire amount billed, any meals or drinks that are charged to your room. It is suggested that you and your roommates check out on Friday together at the front desk, in the case they want to put charges on their credit car, and to make certain that the final bill is paid. Our signed contract states that up to four may share a room; you may wish to discuss with them in advance the amount of their share.

When making a room reservation at the hotel, you’ll call the hotel at (918) 495-1000.  Ask for confirmation via print or Email. When you call, give the full name of those staying in your room, up to four.  If you are unable to find a roommate, and want one, please let me know and I’ll try my best to find one for you.

There’s a restaurant onsite at the hotel for your convenience that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our contract states that all those staying at the hotel will be offered a free daily breakfast. If you decide to eat at an offsite restaurant during the conference, please know that the hotel’s shuttle service is primarily for taking guests to and from the airport, so shuttle will be on the basis of availability only, so getting back to the hotel may be an issue. Of course, you may schedule with ADA, Uber, Lift, Taxi, etc.

Regarding offsite restaurants, there are a few within walking distance of our hotel; we recommend a sighted person walk with you.

Everyone attending the NCCB conference must register, that is where you will receive the NCCB Program of Events to follow along so that you will not miss anything throughout the week; you’ll get a name badge to wear while at conference; I’ll need those returned so at the Thursday evening banquet; leave it on your table; there will be someone to come by and pick them up.

Registrations will be held in the boardroom on Saturday evening: 6 to 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m.  those who have paid all their conference charges, we ask you to come to Saturday evening registration and those who have yet to pay to come on Sunday afternoon. This will keep the registration process running smoothly on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. People arriving later in the week, please let me know you’ve arrived and a good time for you to register. All meetings will be held in the Parkview East Meeting Room, and the Exhibits and Displays will be set up on tables located in our meeting room, so you will easily be able to find them and visit with the people at each exhibit table.

If you’d like to reserve a vendor table, contact Membership Secretary at 405-330-1331 or email pauline.ohadi@sbcglobal.net. She will mail or email you a vendor letter and a vendor form that you will fill out and send in with payment of $50 per table.

Duncan Holmes is the NCCB Choir Director and lead pianist. All attendees are invited and welcome to join the choir. Choir rehearsals are on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 5 p.m. Meet at the piano in the Parkview East meeting room. Duncan requests all choir member volunteers sign up by calling him at (830) 456-0416 or send him an email at duncanholmes46@gmail.com and this is important so that an adequate number of Braille and Large Print pages of the hymns will be made. Let Duncan know if you want to know the names of the hymns he plans so you can become familiar with the words and melody. He will know names of the hymns as we get closer to conference time. At the choir rehearsal, Duncan will provide to each of you a Braille copy or a Large Print copy of the hymns, your choice.

Regarding the Tuesday Tour, it has not yet been scheduled but we'll let you know where and the cost as soon as possible.

If you have had financial problems this past year, please be assured that NCCB wants to help with hotel expenses; just complete the benevolence application form to let us know.
