Since 1845, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)
has had one mission

Go therefore, and make disciples of all the
nations. (Matthew 2819, NKJ)

Kentucky Baptist Convention is to assist Kentucky

The KBC Mission Statement in connecting all
people to Jesus Christ.

The history
8
Prior to 1925, SBC entities competed with one
another for the churches missions gifts.
9
Entities had to raise funds church by church. The
process was cumbersome, inefficient and
ineffective.
10
Then a new approach originated in Kentucky.
11
In 1915, Boyce Taylor, pastor of FBC, Murray
developed a plan for unified giving.
12
Through this plan, offerings were divided among
various ministries on a predetermined percentage
basis.
13
The SBC used a similar approach in 1919 with
the 75 Million Campaign.
14
This led to the launch of the Cooperative Program
in 1925.
15
In Kentucky, more than 660 million has been
given to share the Gospel through CP.
16
The process
17
The process begins when you give yourself to
God. (2 Corinthians 85)
18
Out of gratitude and obedience to God, you give
back to the Lord through your church.
19
Your church prayerfully decides how much of its
undesignated gifts will be committed to CP
Missions.
20
Messengers to the KBC annual meeting, elected by
local churches, decide how CP gifts are divided.
21
Here in Kentucky, 37.32 is sent to the SBC
36.83 funds KBC Mission Board ministries and
25.85 supports Christian education and KBC
entities. - 2009-10 CP budget goals
