ATLANTA – Smyth & Helwys Publishing, a Fellowship partner, is celebrating 17 years of service to Baptists in December. Founded upon the principle of Baptist freedom, Smyth & Helwys publishes Christian education resources and books that honor Baptist heritage and principles.

“Smyth & Helwys continues to be a vital partner in helping us resource the moderate Baptist movement,” said Bo Prosser, the Fellowship’s coordinator for congregational life. “We are pleased to share in a strong partnership in providing resources with CBF churches. Smyth & Helwys is attentive to the needs of our churches and delivers quality books, Sunday School curriculum, Bible commentaries and other resources to churches and church leaders.”

Smyth & Helwys is the largest independent publisher dedicated to publishing church resources in the Baptist tradition for Sunday School as well as inspirational books and Bible study aids for individuals, ministers and small groups. More than 3,000 churches in more than 40 states and several countries use Formations, the Uniform Series, Reflections, the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary, as well as online resources such as NextSunday.com, BaptistNet.com and Caleb’s Cafe.

“Over these 17 years many have questioned whether such a publishing house could succeed, but Smyth & Helwys lives on and is stronger than ever,” said Lex Horton, executive vice president and publisher of Smyth & Helwys. “When churches seek resources that will reflect a commitment to Baptist freedom, they trust Smyth & Helwys resources and that trust is what motivates the ministers and staff who live out their service to churches through our publishing ministry.”

CBF is a fellowship of Baptist Christians and churches who share a passion for the Great Commission and a commitment to Baptist principles of faith and practice. The Fellowship’s mission is to serve Christians and churches as they discover and fulfill their God-given mission.
