As the impact of the coronavirus pandemic grows with each passing day, we have been doing all we can to develop resources to help churches navigate these uncharted waters. This week we’re sharing resources your church can use as you consider how to faithfully respond over the coming days and weeks ahead.

For a season, the best way to love God and serve our neighbors is by staying in our homes with ourselves, our roommates, our pets, our parents, or our spouses. We don’t know how long this will last, but we want to take this opportunity to help you worship God “in your household.” We don’t want to burden you with more activities or responsibilities. We encourage you to embrace this interruption and walk simply with our God.

During this uncertain time we stand firm on the promises of God and His unshakeable faithfulness (Rm. 8:32). The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina staff are committed to serve you as you continue in the ministry under challenges that come from social distancing. The resources provided below seek to aid in these efforts.

Here you’ll find a library of free resources to help your family and ministry during this new season. Download or stream kids curriculum, Bible studies, sermon series, and other resources from local churches and national ministries. Everything is available for you to use today!

Difficult times often provoke special generosity. That has proven the case with many Christian ministries and businesses in these difficult and uncertain days. Here is some of the free or discounted material that has been made available.

We all know that there is a lot of news right now about the Corona virus (COVID-19), and it can lead to a lot of panic. A number of churches are making decisions to change their gatherings, some are making changes to their process on a Sunday morning (anyone else eliminated handshakes for the time being?), and some are not doing anything. But, there’s a chance that you may want to (or need to) move church online for a bit. We want to help!
