Tennessee is a mission field with seven million residents, nearly half without a relationship with Jesus. As the population grows, the need for evangelistic disciples has never been greater. The TN Baptist Mission Board is helping churches strengthen and multiply disciples by fostering discipleship that fits each church’s context, equipping believers to grow in Christ and live out their faith. When believers mature, they share the gospel with boldness. Through training and partnerships, TBMB is helping churches build strong evangelistic cultures so that every Tennessean has the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel.
