LifeWay gains publisher of small-group resources

NASHVILLE — LifeWay Christian Resources has acquired Serendipity House, a Colorado publisher of small-group resources for churches. The purchase was completed Aug. 2.

Asset acquisition of the 40-year-old company, known nationwide for its expertise in producing resources and training that puts relationship at the center of small-group Bible study, fills a void at LifeWay, said LifeWay President James T. Draper Jr.

Founded in 1962 by Lyman Coleman, Serendipity House will continue to operate as a separate organization, keeping its same focus of ministry, Draper said.

The publisher will become part of LifeWay church resources division’s New Ventures initiative to acquire ministry-type businesses and develop alliances with influential churches and authors, Draper said. John Kramp, director of church ministry solutions for the division, will also oversee the New Ventures initiative that includes Serendipity.
