Messengers approve $190 million CP budget, expand definition for what constitutes cooperating church

Eight recommendations from the Executive Committee were adopted, including EC president and CEO Ronnie Floyd’s Vision 2025 plan for boosting Southern Baptists’ evangelistic and discipleship efforts. Find full details of the plan at thebaptistpaper.org and baptistpress.com.

Also approved were two changes to the SBC constitution to expand the definition of a cooperating church regarding sexual abuse and racial discrimination and related to the timing of officer elections during the meeting.

It also adds that “no person may simultaneously be a candidate for two offices.”

A $190 million Cooperative Program Allocation budget and $8.6 million EC and SBC operating budget were given the go-ahead by messengers. The CP budget is an increase of $9.625 million over the 2020–2021 budget but $3.125 million less than the 2019–2020 budget.

Messengers also approved an amended and updated missions and ministry statement for the EC.
