Our 55th Session

Dr. Steve Parr serves the Georgia Baptist Convention as the Vice-President for Sunday School and Evangelism and author of Sunday School That Really Works and Sunday School That Really Responds. He travels across Georgia assisting churches, pastors, and leaders with their small group and evangelism strategies. He has assisted hundreds of churches in strengthening their Sunday Schools by motivating and training leaders through seminars, conferences, preaching, and personal consultations.

Prior to his service at the Convention, Steve served in two local churches. He was the first full-time staff member called to serve at Hebron Baptist Church alongside Rev. Larry Wynn. Over 14 years at Hebron, he served in a variety of staff roles. The church grew from less than 200 to over 3500 in Sunday School attendance during that time. In addition, Steve has led 10 churches as Interim Pastor over the past 12 years.

Steve was recently contracted by Kregel Publishing for the release of his second book: Sunday School That Really Responds, which he’s completed and it’s currently in the editing and development process.

Steve was called to ministry in 1983 as he was pursuing a career in education. After 4 years of teaching and coaching, he left this pursuit behind to follow God’s call to fulltime Christian service. Steve has a Masters of Divinity Degree in Christian Education from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree in Church Growth and Evangelism from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
