State Missions Offering

100% of the State Missions Offering will be used to issue grants to BCM/D churches in order to mobilize them for mission as they seek to obey the great commission.

The STATE MISSIONS OFFERING is a gift given annually by BCM/D churches over and above their regular Cooperative Program giving which assists BCM/D churches that are seeking to obey the great commission by resourcing them with grants.

This is an incredible opportunity to collaborate with one another as we seek to ensure that every church is mobilized for mission in the BCM/D.
