Sunday School
About Us
Our Sunday School challenge…Assist Mississippi Baptist Churches to build disciples
through evangelism, Bible study, fellowship, ministry, and worship
and lead them to build an Acts 1:8 church.
We serve as a resource center, not a program center, for our churches. We are here to assist you in your Bible study ministry. We want
to help you grow disciples who have a passion to share the Gospel of Christ and help believers grow to become on-mission disciples. Our
desire is to assist every church, regardless of size or location. We want to help you evaluate your church, your community, and your
potential for growth. We believe EVERY church has growth potential. It comes from building disciples. As we properly equip our leaders,
we will see growth take place. In addition to the consultants in our Sunday School Department, we have trained
consultants all across our state that can assist us in assisting you. Please let us help you reach Mississippi and the world for Christ.
One of the most effective ways to reach children, youth, and adults is Vacation Bible School. Twenty-six percent of all baptisms among
Southern Baptist churches come through VBS. Our goal remains…assist every church to have Vacation Bible School. We have broadened the
scope of our VBS training to include training associational and local church leaders in Vacation Bible School leadership. We will assist
in curriculum selection, leadership development, community outreach strategies, and other needs as we know of them. We are here for you
and your church. Angie Boydstun is ready to help you improve your VBS.
Student ministry has been a great challenge for most of our Mississippi Baptist churches. We have seen our ministry decline over the
past few years. Pastors and youth leaders have tried to improve their ministry by building up Wednesday night with a youth high-energy
worship rally. These are good but they do not grow disciples. As a result we are losing 88 percent of our students as they reach their
senior year and graduate. We must work at building strong disciples among our students, adults working with students, and the parents of
our students. Huey Dedmon has a passion for assisting our churches and is reaching and discipling students as well as student leaders.

Wouldn’t it be great if your Sunday School could go to the doctor for a checkup? Guess what, it can! Better
yet, it is free and the doctor makes house calls.
The Sunday School Growth Plan is designed to help churches organize their Sunday School, begin new units, and cast a vision for Sunday
School growth. For more information click on the link to read/print the brochure.
We are available to come and assist you in any way we can. Ask us anything!
In addition to resources provided by LifeWay Christian Resources, we want to make available support materials to help your Sunday School.
Materials are available with topics ranging from classroom suggestions for Preschool and Children’s ministry, to developing a prospect file
for the entire church, to the latest in materials that are offered through LifeWay. With both paper and on-line resources we hope to help
you when questions arise.
