The five main areas in which the Baptist General Convention of Texas operates is Evangelism/Missions, Education/Discipleship, Advocacy/Care, Executive Leadership, Partners in Ministry. The one area I specifically chose to reflect on is the Education and Discipleship part. The kind of ministries that are included in this branch include ministries that assist in church growth such as Baptist Way Press , bible study, discipleship, church administration and growth, educational institutes, music and worship, and various ministries that reach out to age groups, genders, and ethnicities. An example of some of these ministries and their purposes is how Baptist Way Press provides low-cost and no-cost Bible study materials. And also how the ministry of Bible Study provides a wide variety of online Bible-study tools and resources to assist in weekly preparation & study, and which can be shared with others to assist them in becoming discovery learners. What surprises and encourages me about the ministries included into the work of the Baptist General Convention of Texas is how they are attempting (and doing well) at all the aspects of the Christian life, whether it be missions, small group bible study, or church leadership, the BGCT has some sort of group established to help assist churches in whatever their needs may be.
