As Father’s Day approaches next month, it’s a fitting time to reflect on the God-given role of fathers.

A group of Arkansas Baptist pastors, including some of our own staff, recently contributed to Fathers Matter: The Bible Tells Us So, a book that combines biblical truth with personal stories and encouragement for dads seeking to lead their families well.

Whether you’re a father, have been impacted by one, or want to encourage the dads in your life, we’re grateful for resources like this that point families back to Christ.

The book is available now on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/00gCifiC

Together we build partnerships and reach the nations.
Together we can equip the next generation well.
Together we can mobilize Arkansas Baptists to reach the lost.

There are so many reason why we cooperate - these are just a few. We're so much better together!

“Unlike balance, rhythm embraces both work and rest as friends, not competitors.”

What does the pace of your life and ministry look like right now? Sustainable? Healthy? Or headed toward a crash?

Check out this excerpt from our Executive Director Mark Dance's new book, "Rest Well, Lead Well," which releases this June. The book challenges pastors and ministry leaders to embrace a healthier rhythm of work, rest, and worship.

What does the pace of your day usually look like? Sane? Sensible? Sustainable? Or are you rushing through life at a pace that will inevitably lead to a crash?

Let the good times BOIL! We joined Matt Hall and Pine Bluff BCM for a crawfish boil yesterday🦞🌽

As the semester comes to a close for college students across Arkansas, we’ve been celebrating so many good things the Lord has orchestrated this semester. We’re seeing God use BCM to reach students with Gospel, increase their involvement and commitment to the local church, and send them out to reach the lost. That’s exactly why BCM exists.

On campus. On mission. For the Church.

That’s what it’s all about!
