The Mission Illinois Offering is coming soon

The Mission Illinois Offering (MIO) and Week of Prayer is September 13-20. Get resources and download videos for your church at IBSA.org/mio.

No more spiritual tourism

Mission leaders who are willing to invest in a long-term strategy through partnering with a full-time missionary will find their effectiveness continues beyond the tenure of their trip. Read why at IB2@news.org.

The conversation no one is having

People have spiritual conversations daily. They never think of turning to the church for answers. They simply don't think the church can help them. Learn how to talk with them at CareyNieuwhof.com.

3 reasons leaders must constantly ask "Why"

Wise leaders constantly ask "why." Not because they find joy in questioning everything but because they want to ensure the thinking beneath the decisions is sound and the motivations beneath the actions are pure. Learn more at EricGeiger.com.

Are you ready for iConnect?

iConnect is designed for church pastors and staff who are new to IBSA or have somehow become disconnected. Come and meet the IBSA staff, learn about what we do and how we can help your church! Register at IBSA.org.

Is your church only advertising to believers?

Take a look at your church's advertising - does it contain elements that only believers would be interested in? Will unbelievers "get it" and come to your church? Learn how your church should advertise at ChurchLeaders.com.

IBSA eConnection is a weekly e-newsletter designed to provide Illinois Baptists with useful information and resources. We pray it enriches your ministry and helps your church to grow and minister.
