Hey young adults and church leaders! Applications are now open for the CRN Apprenticeship Program, a hands‑on pathway to grow as a church revitalizer.

Approved participants receive a $1,800 stipend, mentorship from experienced ministers, weekly cohort meetings, and the opportunity to earn course credit through NOBTS or SEBTS.

Both apprenticeship and church applications are available.
Apply at least four weeks before the semester begins.

Great article about the Cooperative Program from Andrew Chesteen, President of the Mississippi Baptist Convention and Pastor of FBC New Albany.

How we will fund missions and ministries in the future is a crucial question for our time. Southern Baptists must recover the CP as our primary method for funding our cooperative missions and ministries.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

This verse embodies the spirit of Memorial Day. It mirrors both Christ’s sacrifice and the selflessness of those we honor today.

Pray for the families of fallen service members and for military chaplains serving within the Southern Baptist Convention.

The Mississippi Baptist Convention Board offices will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.
