The Southern Baptist Convention's own explanation of the Cooperative Program, its unified plan of giving in which each autonomous cooperating church voluntarily decides what percentage of its undesignated receipts to forward to its state convention and to national and international SBC missions and ministries, with no denomination-wide mandated rate.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the Southern Baptist Convention's own official page explaining, in its own words, how the Cooperative Program works: each cooperating church prayerfully and voluntarily decides what percentage of its undesignated receipts to commit, which is then divided between the state convention and national and international SBC causes. No single publication date is given on the page itself, an ordinary evergreen explainer rather than a dated article; the absence is noted rather than left silent. Citation
