Save-the-Date for the Cooperative Program Centennial in 2025

2025 SBC Annual Meeting • June 9–11, 2025 • Dallas, TX

As the 2024 SBC Annual Meeting kicks off in Indianapolis, excitement fills the air for the inspiring events and gatherings that await church leaders from across the country.

Celebrating 100 Years of the Cooperative Program

Next year, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) will celebrate a monumental milestone—the 100th Anniversary of the Cooperative Program (CP). Since its inception, the CP has been the unifying focus of our shared ministry, supporting missions, church planting, seminary education, and evangelism worldwide. This collective effort has enabled us to spread the Gospel to the farthest corners of the earth (most notably through the International Mission Board) and to educate and equip new generations of pastoral and mission leadership.

Compassion in Action

For nearly 100 years, the CP has empowered our convention to plant churches in new communities, address both physical and spiritual needs with Christ-like love. This unified effort exemplifies our commitment to working cooperatively as one body in Christ.

As we look forward to updates from this year’s meeting, let’s also mark our calendars for the 2025 Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas, where we will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Cooperative Program. This milestone is a testament to our collective commitment to spreading the Gospel and serving communities worldwide.

why give to the cooperative program?

One distinctive of Southern Baptists is that they come together to give toward greater ministry. The Cooperative Program is the way that we partner together to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in our country and around the world.
