Through the Cooperative Program, Southern Baptist churches give a percentage of their undesignated receipts in support of their respective state convention and Southern Baptist Convention missions and ministries.

Giving: An Act of Fellowship

The time when we bring our tithes and offerings to the Lord is one of the most powerful five minutes of our Sunday gatherings. This is a significant time of fellowship. The biblical Greek word koinonia, often translated fellowship, is also used in the New Testament as a word for giving.

Each week, in our churches we come in an act of fellowship from our neighborhoods and communities. We worship our savior in spirit and truth, fellowshipping together in the Word. And every Sunday morning we also come together…giving as an act of fellowship.

“…You believed the message about Christ, and you obeyed it by sharing [koinonia] generously with God’s people and with everyone else.”

The Apostle Paul
(2 Corinthians 9:13b CEV)

Funds Allocation

When Oklahoma Baptists give their tithes and offerings to their local church, each church determines how much of their budget they will send through the Cooperative Program.

The funds are received each week by Oklahoma Baptists. The Cooperative Program raises about $25.5 million annually in our state. We take very seriously the stewardship of this money as it is given in worship as an offering to the Lord. The chart shows how the money is distributed to the nations through our state convention:

Because your church gives through the Cooperative Program, an amazing array of ministries are supported. We take very seriously the stewardship of Cooperative Program money, as it is given in worship as an offering to the Lord.

Because of these gifts, our churches can respond in the darkest moments through Disaster Relief. College students across Oklahoma are reached through BCM. Encampments like Falls Creek reach tens of thousands of young people and adults with the gospel.

Our vision is healthy churches working together in the power of the Holy Spirit to glorify God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
