The Communication Division of the Home Mission Board works to provide churches, associations, state conventions, and other Southern Baptist Convention agencies with plans, materials and information in order to promote missions efforts in the United States. Started in 1959 as the Division of Education and Promotion, the division evolved to include the Art Services Department, Audiovisuals Department, Editorial Services Department, and Promotion Department for most after a reorganization in 1972. By 1988, the departments had reorganized into the Materials Production Department, Media Department and Periodicals Department. Dr. Luther Orba (L. O.) Griffith directed the division from 1959-1971, and was succeeded by James M. Sapp. Kenneth Day took over for Mr. Sapp as director in 1979.
