Who is Church Services?

The Church Services Group of the IMB was created to be a personal “missions strength coach” to the pastors and churches of our Southern Baptist Convention. A team of nearly 30 individuals are spread across North America to give encouragement, counsel, mentoring and tools to pastors and mission leadership at no cost to your church. In addition, there is another arm of this team with over a dozen missionaries who are stateside to assist you and your to church connect with field missionaries all over the globe.
