We are a movement of churches on mission together.
When we partner to be on mission together we can do more for His kingdom like:
- REACH the lost
- TRAIN the next generation
- SEND church planters through sending churches
- SERVE N.C. Baptist churches and communities

Existing Church Partners in Friendly Cooperation
The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina’s governing documents include the following provisions regarding churches in friendly cooperation:
- A church in friendly cooperation shall be one which financially supports the Cooperative Program, the convention’s unified giving channel for missions and ministry.
- A church in friendly cooperation must have a faith and practice that closely identifies with Baptist beliefs and distinctives.
- Among churches not in friendly cooperation are those which affirm LGBTQ+ lifestyles, affirm discriminatory behavior on the basis of race or ethnicity, or affirm behavior inconsistent with biblical teachings regarding sexual abuse.
If you have questions or concerns about a church’s partnership status, please email partnerships@ncbaptist.org.

Missions Giving FAQ
How does the Cooperative Program (CP) work?
When a local church gives a percentage of its regular tithes and offerings to the state convention, those funds are pooled together. This allows us to support a broad network of missions and ministries, from local church planting to international missions and seminaries.
Is a “Designated Offering” the same as CP giving?
No. While both are vital and cooperative, they serve different purposes. The CP funds general mission and ministry of N.C. Baptists and partners like the IMB, NAMB and SBC seminaries. Designated offerings fund specifically named causes (e.g., Lottie Moon, Annie Armstrong or State Missions). These stay with that specific fund.
