Suggestions for State & Regional Baptist Entities

Here are some suggestions for Baptist Identity Series use by State and Regional Baptist Entities (Conventions, Women’s and Men’s Organizations, Affinity Groups):

• Give the Baptist Identity Series to each officer, committee member, and staff person of the organization.
• Distribute the Baptist Identity Leaflets at meetings of the organization, such as annual sessions and other gatherings.
• Have a display on Baptist identity at organization’s meetings, using the Series as a resource for the display.
• Urge associations to utilize the Series; send them a copy of the Series.
• Encourage entities related to the organization to distribute the Baptist Identity Leaflets at their meetings.
• Provide the Series for each trustee and chief executive of institutions related to the convention.
• Provide the Series to each campus minister of the convention and encourage its use with the students.
• Recommend that chaplains related to the convention use the Series in their ministry.
• Request convention staff members who assist in starting new churches to give the Series to the leadership of each new congregation.
• Encourage churches to utilize the Series and send the Series to each pastor.
• Use the Series as a resource for conferences on Baptist identity and for classes on Baptist belief and heritage for staff members of the organization.
• Promote the Series in the Baptist state paper and/or other publications.
• Encourage encampments and conference centers to display the Series, making the Baptist Identity Leaflets available for persons to take with them.
• Link the convention’s website to www.baptistdistinctives.org
