A Message from the NBSI President!
Dear friends of NBSI,
Earlier this month, the NBSI Board gathered for our winter meeting, and there is so much gratitude and hope as we look ahead to 2026. Our Board President, Lisa Larson Hill, recorded a brief video message to share what’s coming — and to extend a meaningful invitation to our community.
We invite you to watch her message below.
From Lisa’s update, here are a few highlights you won’t want to miss:
NBSI Grants: Last year, $27,000 was awarded to support learning and telling biblical stories. Applications are now open, with a January 31 deadline.
Looking Ahead to 2026: We’re preparing a rich lineup of online learning opportunities and our annual conference, July 20–22.
Board Service: Three board positions will be opening at the end of this year, including Program Chair for the Conference and a Member-at-Large role. If you feel called to serve, we invite your prayerful discernment.
Bring Your Story to Life
The Advancing the Mission Fund exists to help storytellers and ministries bring the transformative power of biblical storytelling to their communities. Take this opportunity to make your vision a reality!
The winter application deadline has been extended to January 31, 2026, and recipients will be determined at the February board meeting.
