In response to many information requests in recent years, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSC) decided to resume the annual publication of church contributions to our Cooperative Program mission budget and the three primary missions offerings in North Carolina: the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions and the North Carolina Missions Offering. The next issue of the Biblical Recorder will contain the complete list of giving statistics of more than 4,300 N.C. Baptist churches, arranged by association, as well as this page which indicates the top givers to the Cooperative Program Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2012. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that these statistics will be presented – gratitude for the sacrifices made by churches and their members to support ministries here and abroad; gratitude for the trust placed in our mission organizations to be good stewards of these sacrificial gifts; gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His faithful provision in so many different ways. We celebrate below the top churches in various membership categories for their financial support of the Cooperative Program. Thank you for understanding that we can do so much more to push back lostness in our state, nation and the world when we work together. The Board of Directors and BSC staff are truly grateful and humbled by your support. Please understand that there is always the possibility of error when reporting so many statistics. But, the BSC has taken great care to ensure the numbers reported accurately represent the contributions received by the convention’s accounting team. These contributions do not include gifts processed by the accounting staff designated for our affiliated institutions and agencies, our auxiliary (N.C. Baptist Men) and other ministries such as disaster relief projects and world hunger. |
