| | | We want to hear from you and the VBS events that are happening in your church!
|
This year we there is an Alabama VBS Report! This has been created in hopes of making reporting easier for your churches, plus the information will go directly to the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. The report is an editable WORD doc that can be printed as a hard copy or filled in and returned by email.
|
Also linked below is the Lifeway Research Church Report form. When this form is completed and submitted the information goes to Lifeway Research for compiling the national VBS stats.
|
It would be wonderful for churches to complete and submit both! (But if only submitting one, please submit the new Alabama report. )
|
The Alabama VBS Report and the Lifeway Research report are for ALL VBS publishers and themes.
|
Whether you used a Lifeway Curriculum, Group, AIG, or other publisher, you are asked to report so we can get an accurate look at what is happening throughout Alabama VBS!

This is the Lifeway Research Report link:

The Addine Maynard Scholarship was established to assist African-American students. The Lillie Mae Dean International Scholarship is to assist a Baptist student from a ministerial or missionary family working in the area of language missions.

The deadline for returning applications to the Association is Tuesday, August 1, 2023. The application must be postmarked by August 1. Completed applications can be emailed to the MBA office.

| Interest from the Association’s Student Scholarship Trust, held by the Alabama Baptist Foundation, provides the funding for these scholarships. As you find opportunity, please inform your members of this trust. Someone in your congregation may wish to contribute to this trust through gifts, memorials, or other means to provide future students the resources to receive an education. |

| | | |  | Mobile Baptists have a unique opportunity to partner with the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions in March 2024. The MBA will host the inauguration of local simultaneous outreach events we are calling “Making a Difference Mobile.” That title reflects a connection to the 2024 State Convention Annual Meeting theme, DifferenceMakers.
|
The partnership will allow the MBA to receive a limited number of grants for churches to provide outreach events any weekend (or weekday) during March 2024. The events will lead to your harvest events on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024.
|
This Making a Difference Mobile page provides the application form, resources and information to help your congregation join other MBA churches to plan, conduct and follow up on an outreach event. Make plans now to be a part of Making a Difference Mobile!
