The purpose of BSK Theological Seminary is to prepare men and women sensing God’s leadership for life and ministry in faithful witness to Jesus Christ in the church and the world.
The Baptist World Alliance is a global movement of Baptists sharing a common confession of faith in Jesus Christ bonded together by God’s love to support, encourage and strengthen one another while proclaiming and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit before a lost and hurting world.
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) is the broader Baptist family Living Faith belongs to. Formed in the early 1990s by moderate Baptists in response to the conservative takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), CBF gathers congregations who want to hold together a passion for global missions, a high view of Scripture, Baptist freedom, women’s full participation in ministry, and an open, thoughtful approach to difficult issues.
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Kentucky (CBFKY) is our closest “denominational neighborhood.” While CBF connects us nationally and globally, CBF Kentucky is the network that walks beside churches right here in our own state, helping congregations like Living Faith connect, learn, and serve together.
The Evangelical Protestant Church in Morocco (Église Évangélique au Maroc – EEAM) serves Christ in a unique place: a land at the crossroads of north and south (Africa and Europe) and east and west (the Muslim world and the West. With ten congregations, the EEAM gathers a remarkably international body of believers. Its members come from more than fifty nationalities, most of them young adults from Sub-Saharan Africa who arrive in Morocco as students or migrants. Living Faith helps to support our sister church in Fes.
Karen Thomas Smith’s ministry is three-fold: Karen serves as pastor and chaplain for the Ecumenical Christian Community at Al Akhawayn University, serves as coordinator of Interfaith Activites and advises the student-led interfaith Alliance, and serves as pastor and president of the Eglise Evangélique au Maroc.
Georgetown College is a small Christian liberal arts college in Georgetown, Kentucky, and one of Living Faith’s key mission partners in higher education. Chartered in 1829 as the first Baptist college west of the Appalachians, Georgetown has a long history of educating students for lives of faith, learning, and service. Today its mission is: “to provide a welcoming and challenging educational community, rooted in Christian love and service, that prepares students to make a positive difference in the world.”
Hope Academy for Kids (HAFK) exists to nurture and restore hope to underserved children by providing educational, emotional, physical and spiritual support to help them reach their potential and find their purpose in life as one community locks arms and works together.
Transitioning families and individuals from crisis to wholeness by sharing the peace of Christ’s presence, Olive Branch Ministries is one of the ways Living Faith stretches our love beyond Hardin County into some of the most economically challenged communities in Appalachia. Led by Scarlette Jasper, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel, Olive Branch Ministries walks alongside individuals and families in rural Kentucky and Tennessee who live under the daily weight of poverty, instability, and generational hardship.
