LifeWay Christian Resources, based in Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the largest providers of religious and Christian resources in the world.〔("LifeWay Christian Resources." ) ''VISTA International''. 2006. 23 April 2008.〕 LifeWay has been recognized as one of the "Best Employers in Tennessee" by BusinessTN magazine.〔Kiilerich, Jennifer. ("Best Employers in Tennessee." ) ''Business Tennessee''. May 2007. 23 April 2008.〕 ==Background== In 1891, J. M. Frost, a 43-year-old pastor, started the company that is now known as LifeWay Christian Resources. The business began, after receiving approval from the Southern Baptist Convention, in a small office funded in part by money borrowed from his wife. Later that year, it became the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, with Frost as its first executive secretary (now called president). Over the next century, the board expanded its activities well beyond Sunday School material. To reflect its broadening focus, the board changed its name to LifeWay Christian Resources in 1998. The LifeWay name had been used in one form or another as a brand name since 1971. Today, the ministries of LifeWay provide Christian resources throughout the United States and internationally. LifeWay's ministries include the production of Bibles, church literature, audio and video recordings, church supplies, and Internet services. The company operates over 186 LifeWay Christian Stores through the United States, as well as one of the largest Christian conference centers in the country. LifeWay is a 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit organization that receives no funding from the denomination and reinvests income above operating expenses in mission work and other ministries around the world. LifeWay employees are committed to the company's vision: "Biblical solutions for life."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LifeWay )〕 It acquired Berean Christian Stores in September 2013, which at the time had 17 locations in the United States, primarily in California. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LifeWay Christian Resources」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
