Pastor Life Resources (Southern Baptist)

Pastor Life began as a website designed for Baptist ministers in 2001.  The original name of the site was SermonCity.  The genesis of the site began when Dr. J. Mike Mininix, a Southern Baptist Pastor for more than 30 years discussed his idea for a website specifically designed for Baptist ministers with Dr. J. Robert White, Executive Director of the Georgia Baptist Convention.  Dr. White felt the idea had merit and asked Dr. Mininix to develop and serve as Editor for the site with the support of the Georgia Baptist Convention.  The goal of the site was and is to provide sermon helps, illustrations, articles and other information tht conforms to the Baptist Faith and Messagee 2000 of the Southern Baptist Convention.

The site originally began as a subscription service, but Dr. White later decided the need of the pastors for helpful preaching and ministry materials was so great tht he suggested removing the subscription and allowing ordained ministers free access to the material.  This decision took effect in 2005.
