LifeWay Christian Resources
LifeWay Christian Resources is a religious publishing house based in Nashville, Tennessee owned and operated by the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.
LifeWay was founded as the Baptist Sunday School Board in 1891 to assist local churches in developing their ministries. The original organization is roughly equivalent to the Church Resources Division of today's company. In 1920, the Sunday School Board opened its first Baptist Book Store, which developed into a chain of Christian stores selling to the general public.
The Sunday School Board changed its name to LifeWay Christian Resources in 1998; at that time, all Baptist Book Stores became LifeWay Christian Stores. The company now operates 122 stores throughout the USA, and is the country's second-largest chain of Christian stores. In 2002, LifeWay established a Technology Division, divided into an internal information technology department and an external electronic business department that provides services such as Web hosting, Bible software, Internet protection services, and streaming audio/video.
