Report Your VBS

We want to hear from you and the VBS events that are happening in your church!

This year 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:

Let's continue to send the message to Hollywood and the movie producers showing that we want to experience and support God Honoring and Christ centered movies!
The Hollywood distributors' main gauge for ORDINARY ANGELS and all movie successes is based primarily on the number of seats filled on opening weekend.

Church Collegiate Ministry Partnership Opportunities

Collegiate Ministry Friends:

It’s that time of the year again; a new college semester is just around the corner. As you hear us say repeatedly, Baptist Campus Ministries seeks to reach, grow and mobilize students with the gospel of Jesus and to help our Mobile Baptist Association churches do the same.

As part of this focus, we are offering four strategic partnership events to assist our churches in reaching collegians at USA and around the County.
  • Campus Prayerwalk (Monday, 8/14/23 @ 6:00 PM at BCM): Prayer plows the ground for evangelism and discipleship for BCM and our local churches. Join us as we walk & drive the USA campus to pray for students, faculty and staff. Prayer guides are available for church partners to join with us to prayerwalk other Mobile County campuses as well.
  • Welcome Waffle Breakfast (Sunday, 8/20/23 @ 8:30 AM at BCM): Our annual Waffle Breakfast offers churches the opportunity to meet students on their first Sunday morning on Campus, get to know them and to invite those students to visit your congregation. Remember, collegians are most likely willing to visit a church when they have been invited by other collegians.
  • Church Search Sunday (Sunday, 8/27/23-various times): Plan something special for collegians on this Sunday and help BCM promote all that you have going on. Churches will focus on collegians on this Sunday and offer a time when they will meet up that day at the BCM to offer carpools/directions for new students.
  • Campus Connect (Tuesday, 8/29/23- 10 AM - 3 PM at USA Student Center Terrace ): Immerse yourself into Campus Culture to meet college students and invite them to visit and get to know your church. Churches will be provided a space to set up an informational table in the USA Student Center Terrace Room to share with students, extend invites, register students for giveaways and door prizes.
Use the form below to let us know what your church wants to participate in to connect with students. Any questions concerning these projects should be directed to Lead Campus Minister Jerrod Brown (jbrown@alsbom.org). We are here to serve you as you seek to reach collegians.

Register for these connection events here: https://forms.gle/qa66FxJuqhhAhMaz9

Making a Difference Mobile

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!
