Alabama Baptists approved a five-year partnership with Alaska Baptists.
The partnership got a jumpstart with Jamie Baldwin, recently retired from Alabama Baptist work in Sunday School and discipleship, currently onsite assisting with a church relaunch effort in Alaska.
Baldwin, with help from several Alabama Baptist missions teams, is working with local pastor Cody Schwegel for the grand opening of Liberty Church on July 4 in Craig, Alaska, a fishing and logging town on Prince of Wales Island.
Randy Covington, executive director-treasurer of the Alaska Baptist Resource Network, has announced his plans to retire from that role in September of 2025.
It was a historic occasion, a night to remember. The Sons of Jubal choir from Georgia crossed the Chattahoochee River and drove deep into Alabama territory, all the way to Opelika and nearly to Auburn.
A group from Alabama recently went to Alaska to host disciple-making bootcamps based on the materials found in D-Life, a practical disciple-making program created by pastor Bill Wilks.
Every member of the first graduating class had received job offers in a field that U.S. News & World Report ranks No. 5 on its 2024 Best Jobs List.
