Introduction

You are welcome to the Baptist Media page.
The Media Unit is under the General Admin of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. As an electronic arm of the convention, we help to keep record of visual and audio happenings of convention related programmes. Our Bible focal verse is “… that by every possible means (we) might win some to God.” (1 Corinthians 9:22).

Our Philosophy
As part of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, the Baptist Media uses appropriate media tools for supporting the convention’s objectives which include: one, to present the whole gospel of Jesus Christ to all areas of Nigeria and beyond wherever opportunity may be found; two, to encourage Christians to be well rooted in their spiritual growth; three, to strengthen church leaders to maintain high spiritual standard in order to do more exploits for the Lord; and four, to train leaders and church members for the growth and expansion of God’s kingdom.

Our Purpose

Our purpose, therefore, is to use available media tools and materials, and also produce additional materials that will:

stimulate in the people of Nigeria a spiritual awareness that directs the to Jesus Christ as saviour;

produce biblical programmes that will help Christians toward spiritual maturity;

organise workshops that would use different methods of reaching people with the gospel and sustaining the converted, e.g. Drama Ministry;

assist churches, associations and conferences in an effort to plant preaching points;

assist in training church members in Christian ministry in collaboration with other organizations;

give support to the activities of churches, Associations, Conferences, Departments and Nigerian Baptist Convention at large to help fulfill the objectives as stated above.
