Association Funding
Associations may request funding from SCBaptist through the Janie Chapman Missions Offering. To apply, please complete the Funding Request Form. Once your request is approved, you’ll be asked to submit an Evaluation Form upon completion of your project to receive funds.
Be sure to select "Association Funding" as the type of funding.
SCBaptist encourages churches to consider partnering with their respective SCBaptist associations to undertake local, contextualized ministry efforts together.
We believe that a local association of churches can often accomplish things together that a larger group of churches cannot – especially within their specific ministry context or geographic area. Consider partnering with your local Baptist association in advancing the Gospel.
Directors of Missions and associational leaders can link up with other Southern Baptist associational leaders via the Southern Baptist Convention Associational Leaders' website.
If you serve in associational leadership full-time, bi-vocationally, or as a volunteer, we want to help you and your association to be more effective and fruitful. We are here to equip, encourage, and network, thereby helping you grow and excel in supporting your pastors and churches as they advance the Gospel.
