Every month, we spotlight five helpful resources for you as you seek to walk closely with the Lord and make disciples. Many of these resources are created by the staff of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC) to help meet the ministry needs of pastors and lay leaders across the state.

This month’s top five features access to North Carolina Missions Offering resources, a training curriculum to help care well for the abused, a family devotions guide and a manual for identifying and engaging lostness. Lastly, there is a new online classroom available to equip parents to properly teach their families how to study God’s Word.

In addition to the resources featured here, many more can be found at ncbaptist.org/resources. You may also follow @ncbaptist on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where we’ll share other helpful resources throughout the month.

North Carolina Missions Offering resources
The North Carolina Missions Offering (NCMO) is a special offering received during the month of September that supports the ministries of Baptists on Mission, church planting, mission camps, associational projects and mobilization ministry projects. This year’s NCMO theme is “Compelled by Love,” based on 2 Corinthians 5:14. Check out these available resources that you and your church can use to promote this year’s offering.
