Cooperative Program
Southern Baptist churches voluntarily send a percentage or a specified amount of their regular offerings to the state convention. The state convention keeps approximately two-thirds of those funds and the balance is sent to the Southern Baptists' Executive Committee in Nashville. The Executive Committee distributes those funds to Southern Baptist agencies. The International Mission Board currently receives half of the funds sent to the Executive Committee. Cooperative Program funds represent nearly 35% of the boards projected 1999 budget of nearly $230 million.
