Missions and evangelism remain priorities in the 2012 budget of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, accounting for about 35 percent of the $12 million distributed for in-state use.
The SBTC Missions Team helps churches plant new churches and mobilize for missions in Texas and beyond. Sixty church plants at various stages of growth are currently supported.
Evangelism ministry encourages and prepares pastors and staff members to equip believers of all ages to do the work of evangelism, offering statewide conferences for adults and students, crusade and harvest events, church and associational ministry, preparation for prayer and spiritual awakening, personal and student evangelism training, student camps and student-led revivals.
The remaining portion of the budget provides:
• church ministries that provide more than 100 workshops, seminars, clinics and consultations to serve ongoing ministries of local churches,
• multiethnic ministries to assist SBTC churches and associations in their fulfillment of the Great Commission in reaching Hispanics and other ethnic people groups in Texas,
• minister-church relations that provide resume services, partnering in retirement benefits, conflict management, counseling referrals, assistance to associations, Cooperative Program education, pastoral supplements and educational scholarships,
• facilitating ministries with Criswell College, Jacksonville College, Texas Baptist Home, East Texas Baptist Family Ministry, Texas Life Connections, Texas Ethics & Religious Liberty Committee, scholarships, ministry to young pastors, and CP promotion,
• communication to help Texas Southern Baptists see the impact of the work the SBTC does together, and
• operational and financial services to account for all income, management and recording of budgeted expenses, CP receipts and designated funds.
