-- Biblical Solutions for Life

Many people know LifeWay as a Christian bookstore. To others, it's a publishing house. Some say it's a ministry. Still others say it's an agency. But more than all these, LifeWay is a community of people - and not just the 2,000 plus employees nationwide. LifeWay is a family of people like you.

LifeWay is your Christian resource, and you are a valuable part of LifeWay -- whether you are a pastor, Sunday School teacher, deacon or church member. When you are reading your next Bible study lesson, sharing Christ with your neighbor or giving your time to discipling youth, you are part of LifeWay. It is through the Christian community that our vision and goals are realized.

LifeWay operates under 6 unwavering Core Values. They are:

The Bible—LifeWay Core Value 1

We believe the Bible is the eternal, infallible, inerrant Word of God and is the plumbline for everything we say and do.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Employees—LifeWay Core Value 2

Our employees are our most important resource and our means of building customer relationships to meet needs with biblical solutions which spiritually transform individuals and cultures.

The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28

Our customers are our reason for existence. Knowing our customers, not just knowing about them, and meeting their expressed, unexpressed and unknown needs is essential to achieving our vision.

So in everything, do unto others what you would have them do unto you . . . . Matthew 7:12

Character is the expression of the person of Christ in our life. We will live consistent, Christian lifestyles, conducting our ministry and business with the highest standards of honesty, integrity and Christian ethics.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me . . . . Galatians 2:20

We will be Kingdom leaders in providing biblical solutions that transform lives. As God leads us, we will seek to be prophetic catalysts for change.

Where there is no vision, the people will perish. Proverbs 29:18b

We will be faithful stewards of all God has entrusted to us.

From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48b
