The Cooperative Program (CP) is Southern Baptists’ method of supporting missions and ministry efforts of state and regional conventions and the Southern Baptist Covention (SBC).
The CP total includes receipts from individuals, churches, state conventions and fellowships for distribution according to the 2012-2013 SBC CP Allocation Budget.
Designated contributions include the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions, Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund and other gifts.
State and regional conventions retain a portion of church contributions to the Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program to support work in their respective areas and forward a percentage to Southern Baptist national and international causes. The percentage of distribution is at the discretion of each state or regional convention.
