Submit News to The Alabama Baptist
As the most widely circulated state Baptist newspaper in the United States, The Alabama Baptist continually strives to be a resource for Christian living.
In both the weekly print edition of the newspaper and The Alabama Baptist Online, the editorial staff seeks to provide news, commentary and resources to empower Baptists of Alabama and others to live out the biblical concepts of Christian discipleship in their personal lives, their professional lives and their lives within the community of faith.
A statewide network of correspondents aids the newspaper’s editors in writing news and feature stories about the ministries of Alabama Baptist churches. In addition, correspondents contribute stories addressing topics of current interest to the Christian community.
Churches and church members also are invited to submit ideas for feature and news stories. Article ideas might include ministries, people and other items of interest to Alabama Baptists.
