Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

We partner with the Southern Baptist Convention to extend our impact far beyond our local community—supporting a global network of missionaries and ministry efforts across North America and around the world. Through cooperative giving, we help send and sustain missionaries who are planting churches, sharing the gospel, and meeting both spiritual and physical needs in diverse cultures and communities.
In North America, this includes outreach through church planting, community engagement, and compassion ministries in cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Internationally, our support helps missionaries bring the message of Christ to unreached people groups, often in some of the most challenging and remote regions of the world.
We also proudly support the ministry of Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, one of the largest volunteer-based disaster response organizations in the country. When crises strike—such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, or other emergencies—trained teams respond quickly to provide food, clean water, cleanup and recovery assistance, and emotional and spiritual care. Through these efforts, we are able to demonstrate the love of Christ in both word and action, bringing hope in times of great need.

Together with other Southern Baptists in North America:

We helped sustain more than 3,500 missionaries and their 2,700 children across 150+ countries. And through that faithful presence, we saw amazing fruit:
  • 2,066,251 people heard the Gospel
  • 196,497 became new believers
  • 29,937 were baptized
  • 7,697 new churches were planted
  • 29,018 leaders were trained in church planting
  • 225,578 people were discipled

Meeting Physical Needs

Our partnership also helped meet real physical needs in Jesus’ name. Through the International Mission Board Send Relief, 2,277,589 lives were impacted across 80 countries through 472 projects — creating opportunities for compassion, trust, and gospel witness.

Sending People

13,679 volunteers served on 2,136 volunteer trips in 120 countries, representing 2,039 Southern Baptist churches.
