Cooperative Program Budget Goals 2007-2008


CP Budget Goals and Allocations

As Christians, we’ve all been commissioned by Jesus to share the Good News of His saving love with the people in our community, state, nation and world. The Cooperative Program, or CP Missions, is the foundational element of Kentucky Baptists’ strategy to follow this command. By pooling our resources through Cooperative Program giving, we are able to be true Acts 1:8 congregations and reach out simultaneously to our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. Here's how:
