EspañolLIFEWAY CHRISTIAN RESOURCES
(Redirected from Lifeway Christian Resources)
'LifeWay Christian Resources' is one of the largest providers of Christian resources in the world. Lifeway is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
J.M. Frost started small and dreamed big. In 1891, the 43-year-old pastor had a desk in a corner office and a little money that he borrowed from his wife. With approval from the Southern Baptist Convention, he launched what is today one of the world's largest providers of Christian resources.
Today, the ministries of LifeWay, originally the Sunday School Board, touch lives throughout the United States and around the world.
LifeWay's ministries include the production of Bibles, church literature, audio and video recordings, church supplies, and Internet services. The company operates nearly 140 LifeWay Christian Stores through the United States, as well as two of the largest Christian conference centers in the country.
LifeWay is a religious nonprofit organization that receives no funding from the denomination and reinvests income above operating expenses in mission work and other ministries around the world.
LifeWay directs its ministries through seven divisions:
'Church Resources' consults with churches and delivers biblical solutions through many ministries, resrouces, enrichment and training events, and age-group products, including Sunday school, Vacation Bible School, leadership development, evangelism, discipleship, music, worship, marriage, and parenting.
'LifeWay Christian Stores' operates nearly 140 outlets in two dozen states, serving Southern Baptists and the wider evangelical community.
'B&H Publishing Group' produces Bibles, books, audio and video productions,and church supplies, selling to bookstores and other retailers.
'Executive Communications and Relations' produces LifeWay's news and information services, directs corporate events and supports the office of the president in maintaining good relationships with other Southern Baptist Convention entities, state conventions and other evangelical organizations.
'Research and Ministry Development' houses LifeWay Research, which helps churches impact the culture for Christ; coordinates employee-led mission trips; and directs ministry development and strategic projects.
The 'Technology' division provides five key services for LifeWay; strategic; retail; business; enterprise; and Internet technologies.
'Finance and Business Services' is responsible for LifeWay's financial policies and general accounting and directs many key LifeWay business services. The division also operates conference centers at Ridgecrest, N.C., and Glorieta, N.M., which minister to more than 100,000 guests each year.
