MISSIONS
Missions interest meeting Sunday January 24th 4:30pm
Jesus commands us to go and tell the world the Good News.
We voluntarily send 3 percent of our regular offerings to the Ridge Baptist Association and 7 percentage of our regular offerings to the state convention. The state convention keeps approximately two-thirds of those funds and the balance is sent to the Southern Baptist Executive Committee in Nashville. The Executive Committee distributes those funds to Southern Baptist agencies. The International Mission Board (IMB) currently receives half of the funds sent to the Executive Committee. Cooperative Program funds represents about 33 percent of the IMB's annual budget.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)
