2026 MLK Celebration Speakers
Keynote: Dr. Genetta Hatcher
Since the early days of her ministry, Rev. Dr. Genetta Y. Hatcher has been given the name, "Preacher in Blue Jeans.” She loves blue jeans but more importantly, she believes that if Jesus was walking the earth today, He would be in a pair of jeans because we wear blue jeans. It’s not about a desecration of the sacred but a holy boldness to meet people right where they are. Blue jeans and a Bible.
