The Cooperative Program, Stewardship & State Missions Development
Office provides information and resources for local churches to assist
them in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
Gifts given by
individual churches through the Cooperative Program are combined into a
unified budget to support the mission and ministry efforts of the
Georgia Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention.
Through
the Cooperative Program our churches enter into a partnership that sends
the gospel around the world. Within days after your church sends in its
Cooperative Program contributions through the state convention, the
funds are on the mission field helping to tell the story of Christ to
many who have never heard it before.
It can be said without hesitation
that
the sun never sets on the Cooperative Program!
