The introductory sermon was delivered by W. W. Harris. The Report on Christian Education mentioned important developments impacting Gardner-Webb College as it related to the Council on Christian Education.

WMU hosted a guest missionary from China. Baptist Hospital reported that 4,000 of 8,000 patients were able to receive free services. The report from the Church Beautification Committee included a list of church beautification projects.
