ABOUT PRAISEWORKS
PraiseWorks is an incredible opportunity for students
to gather to worship, to learn about worship, and to
gain skills for leading worship. Our goal is to equip
students with hands-on experiences and to give
them a place to discover and develop their passion
and their God-given abilities.
PraiseWorks is for students who have completed
7th -12th grade. If 6th grade students are included
in your student ministry, those who have completed
6th grade may participate in PraiseWorks.

PRAISEWORKS MISSION PROJECT 2016: We are collecting
school supply packets for Arkansas Church Planters. It is so
important for new church plants to connect and meet the needs of their community.
Because they are a new church, they have limited resources. Last year, Arkansas Baptists planted 31 new churches
that saw just under 700 professions of faith and 238 baptisms. You can help that continue!
