Summary

This modern mission statement from LifeWay Christian Resources matches the same bold purpose of those who first opened the doors of the company back in 1891 when it was known as the Baptist Sunday School Board. A testament to unwavering spiritual integrity and focus, while the world has certainly changed, the goals of LifeWay have held strong for well over one hundred years. And by God's grace, they continue into the future.
