Protection is a Must for Churches
It is estimated that one out of every four girls and one out of six boys will experience some form of sexual abuse by age 18. Churches cannot expect to remain unaffected by this problem. Implementing safety and security policies for children is no longer an option for churches. The mental, emotional and spiritual development of children is at stake. Ensure that your church is a loving and safe environment for children to grow in their relationship with their Lord and His church.

CrossOver '08 in Indianapolis saw approximately 500 volunteers lead 759 people to professions of faith in Christ just before the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting.

For His Sake: A Look at the Ministry of The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
Are Christians helpless and hopeless in a culture spinning out of control? Absolutely not, says Richard Land in this video. “If every follower of Christ understood how powerful their faith can be in impacting our culture and determining the future of our nation, if churches were beacons of hope, reflecting Christ and not the culture around them, if God’s people were truly committed to doing what is right and speaking out against what is wrong, just imagine what our world would look like.”
