NAMB offers free resources to assist Southern Baptist churches to start and host Christian schools

The North American Mission Board (NAMB) is offering free resources to encourage 47,000 churches in the Southern Baptist Convention to involve themselves in Christian K-12 education.

“American families and churches are facing a crisis. We need trustworthy, biblically grounded, family-friendly, evangelistically minded institutions to sustain, defend, and advance the gospel. If your church has a building, you should consider hosting a school,” reads a NAMB Web page namb.net/schools titled “Church-based Schools.”

Numerous resources are being offered including The Education Reformation: Why Your Church Should Start a Christian School, an eBook co-authored by Florida pastor Jimmy Scroggins and Trevin Wax of NAMB.

The book argues that public schools have turned against basic Christian values and says more Christians, and even some non-Christians, are seeking alternatives to the woke and sexually confused agenda being promulgated in many schools. 

To combat that, believers can “recover the powerful partnership between the home, the neighborhood church, and the church-based school,” Scroggins writes. “We are calling for a recommitment. A recovery. A renewal. A return to a dynamic partnership that can reshape our families, restore our churches, and reach the lost. And maybe, just maybe, this reformation can bring spiritual revival to our nation.” 

Other resources include Case Studies of Christian Schools and a Church-Based Schools Webinar. Churches may sign up for updates on additional resources here.
