Living Sent: How N.C. Baptists are fueling hope through NCMO this fall

Each September, North Carolina Baptist churches give to fuel missions across our state and beyond through the North Carolina Missions Offering. Discover how your church can be part of "Living Sent" by giving, praying and making a tangible impact for the gospel.

Every fall, churches across North Carolina join together in generosity and mission through the North Carolina Missions Offering (NCMO). Here’s what you need to know about this vital effort to support gospel ministry across our state and beyond.

North Carolina Baptists are fueled by the local church, for the local church. Your generous giving enables disaster relief, church planting, Baptists on Mission initiatives and local associations’ outreach projects that transform communities. N.C. Baptists are committed to reaching the lost with the hope of Christ.

This year’s theme is “Living Sent,” based on John 20:21: “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

When a volunteer rebuilds after a disaster, when a church plants in a strategic city, when believers meet physical and spiritual needs, N.C. Baptists are living sent. Your gifts to the NCMO equip this work across North Carolina and beyond, so that more people can know the love and hope found in Jesus Christ.
