Across Tennessee, nearly 400 Baptist churches gather each Sunday without a pastor to fill their pulpits, a clear reminder of the urgent need for strong, healthy gospel leaders. The Tennessee Baptist Mission Board (TBMB) is committed to strengthening and multiplying those leaders by supporting current pastors and ministers through wellness initiatives that nurture spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health, while also raising up the next generation through intentional discovery, development, and deployment. Through internships, apprenticeships, and mentorship opportunities, TBMB is helping churches cultivate leaders who can advance God’s Kingdom and ensure every Tennessean has the opportunity to hear the gospel.
