The site is organized by the student ministry department of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, and is supported by youth professors at all SBC seminaries and the youth employees of national SBC entities and Baptist state conventions.
Dr. Richard Ross, professor of student ministry at the Southern Baptist seminary and developer of the site, says the Internet site is a valuable tool for staff members of both large and small, rural churches.

"At SBCStudents.com, all they have to do is choose from a broad menu, since there's going to be items on evangelism, discipleship, parent ministry, prayer -- just all the key areas of student ministry," Ross explains. "When they click on each one of those items, they're going to discover lots of printed resources -- camps, retreats, international mission trips; all kinds of things that are available to do ministry with students, with parents, and with volunteer leaders in that specific ministry area."
The free resources which assist youth pastors with programming, scheduling and administering their youth ministries.
“It has already completely changed the way I run events at my church,” said Greg Matthews, webmaster of the site. “I used to struggle, trying to put things together at the last minute. But now I have my entire year planned.”
Ross said SBCstudents.com provides access to “every SBC printed resource used in youth ministry, every SBC youth ministry event and conference, every SBC national, state and seminary leader in youth ministry and every SBC state youth ministry homepage.”
