Creating an Online Church During COVID-19
As COVID-19 continues to spread across our state, many churches have turned to alternative means for their gatherings
The Executive and Administrative Team (EAT) directs the overall strategy for the ministries of the ABSC. The EAT insures that all of our efforts are focused on our mission: working with Arkansas Baptists to accomplish the Great Commission. Our ABSC Teams strive to make every person, dollar, and hour count towards that end.

- Focus our evangelism partnerships toward people that are unengaged, unreached, and underserved in access to the Gospel.
- Impact students from kindergarten to graduate school.
