General Baptists
are moving forward under the theme of “No Church Left
Behind.”
To leave no
church behind, our efforts will be centered in
“Gaining Agenda Harmony” and
“Building Movement Loyalty.” We will be
actively involved in the assignment given the church to take the
planet for Christ. We will be working with our churches
through
1.
NewStart Churches – the start
of a brand new church
2.
ReStart Churches – Using a
former building and/or remnant group of people
3.
ReFocusing Churches – The
process of re-capturing the vision and heart of Jesus for His
Church to be radiant, healthy, and multiplying. This
requires the Church to move from an inward to outward focus.
4.
Parenting Churches – Taking
personal ownership of a new start or re-start project to
multiply the kingdom. It may involve one church or a group
of churches coming together.
We will be
organizing a coaching network to assist churches at all levels
in order that General Baptist churches may be healthy,
kingdom-minded churches

General Baptist churches
partner together in Unified Giving to reach the unchurched in a
world where millions have never heard the gospel.
Each General Baptist
church is encouraged to share 10 percent in Unified Giving for
missions and ministry. Participating churches have an outreach in
completing the biblical directive of "Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost" (Mt. 28:19).
Unified Giving is the
financial lifeline, making possible planting of churches, services
to churches and pastors, and training to accomplish the vision God
has provided on which we are
focused.
1.
Making disciples for
Christ
2.
Developing
leaders
3.
Growing healthy churches
Our Unified Giving goal
this year is $1,659,317.
General Baptist Unified
Giving churches are partnering together to accomplish for eternity's
sake what they cannot accomplish by
themselves. |

Unified
Giving in 2007 – $1,499,817.72!
General Baptists have a vision for
Making Disciples for Christ, Developing Leaders, and Growing Healthy Churches.
General Baptist churches partnering together in Unified Giving are
aggressively addressing their responsibility as defined in Acts 1:8.
We are grateful to each
participating church. All churches, large and small, are significant
in the Acts 1:8 mission. We especially want to recognize the top 10
General Baptist churches that contributed to Unified Giving during
2007.
