Baptist Life

Of all the denominations, agencies and organizations within Southern Baptist life, only the local church is mentioned in the Bible. The New Testament mentions the church over 90 times - never once as a building or structure, and always as a cooperating body of Christians. An assembly of Christians becomes a church through their individual and cooperative belief in Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) to go into the world and disciple, baptize, and teach people.

Mission

“Provide Servant Leadership with Kingdom Partners”

The mission of the South Carolina Baptist Convention Staff is to serve as kingdom partners with churches, associations, and institutions of the South Carolina Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention in fulfillment of their role to “. . . Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark 16:15, HCSB). The partnering with each focuses on one purpose – God’s ‘kingdom.’ While there are many worthy endeavors, the mission of the Convention staff is to intentionally focus on serving as kingdom partners.

As servants, the Convention staff seeks to lead by example – demonstrating our love for Jesus, continuously learning and developing our ministry skills, responding to the unique needs of the partners and all the while demonstrating “. . . humility toward one another, because God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5, HCSB).

This mission statement builds on the long tradition of the South Carolina Baptist Convention staff to serve churches and expands this commitment of service to those in partnership with the South Carolina Baptist Convention.
