What happens to high schoolers when they leave home and go to college? Will they continue following Jesus on campus or will their faith journey come to a halt?

The Kairos Initiative of the BGAV serves campuses across the Commonwealth to guide students on their spiritual walks during the formative college years. Learn more about our Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCMs) and how your students can best be prepared for a smooth transition - personally and spiritually! https://www.bgav.org/blog/new-to-college-bcm-offers-spiritual-growth-and-community

This June, BGAV's Fresh Expressions NA is creating space for pastors and pioneers to slow down, listen, and reimagine what ministry could look like in their context. Join us for two unique equipping opportunities:

📆 Wednesday, June 10
Outdoor Fresh Expression Incubator — a 2.5-hour hands-on workshop exploring how shared experiences, outdoor spaces, and everyday passions can become places of connection, community, and spiritual conversation.
https://www.freshexpressions.com/fresh-expression-incubators

📆 Wednesday, June 17
Dangerous Prayer — a summer prayer series inviting leaders beyond striving & performance into deeper attentiveness to God’s presence and leading.
https://www.freshexpressions.com/dangerous-prayer

Whether through the good work of prayer or the creative work of imagining new forms of ministry, both opportunities are designed to help you notice where God is already at work around you.

What could this summer hold for you, your church, or your community?

Is America a “Christian nation?” As the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary, that question is shaping debates about history, faith, religious freedom, and national identity.

This article originally published by Religion News Service explores the tension between America’s deep Christian influence and its constitutional commitment to religious liberty for all — and why that debate feels more urgent than ever today:

Our "Art for the Not Yet" creative arts collaborative wants YOU!

If you need some inspiration, check out some creative ideas for churches to engage their communities through art—especially those who may not yet feel connected to church life.

From prayer murals and collaborative canvases to neighborhood storytelling projects and interactive worship art, community art projects can help churches create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and welcomed. Creativity has a unique way of opening doors where words sometimes can’t.

Get inspired to create something within your own church community! https://www.bgav.org/blog/art-for-the-not-yet-community-art-project-ideas-for-churches

Can AI really be neutral when it comes to faith? New research suggests many popular AI models show measurable religious bias — often favoring Catholicism while sidelining other traditions and spiritual perspectives.
