Dear North Carolina Baptist Messengers,

Thank you for your continued generosity and partnership in gospel missions and ministry

in North Carolina, the United States and around the world.

As we meet together to consider the proposed $31 million Cooperative Program budget

for 2018, I am pleased that we are recommending an overall budget increase for the third

consecutive year. This year’s budget proposal calls for an increase of $625,000, which is

about 2 percent more than our current budget that you approved last year.

In addition, I am also grateful that this year’s budget proposal includes another increase to

our allocation to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), which supports a variety of missions

and ministries here and abroad through the North American Mission Board, the International

Mission Board and other entities. This year’s proposed budget recommends a 0.5 percent

increase in our SBC allocation, which would move from 40.5 percent to 41 percent. The 2018

budget marks the 12th year in a row that we have recommended an increase the percentage

that we allocate to the SBC.

I’m thankful for the members our state convention’s Budget Special Committee for their work

in developing the 2018 Cooperative Program budget proposal. This booklet includes a detailed

breakdown of the proposed budget which will be presented to you for consideration during

the Tuesday afternoon business session. If you have questions about the budget proposal,

I encourage you to attend the listening session scheduled for Tuesday morning at 7:30 a.m.

Members of the budget committee will be on hand at that meeting to answer any questions

you may have about the proposed budget or the budgeting process.

As many of you know, I never ask individuals or churches to support the Cooperative Program.

Instead, I encourage them to support missions through the Cooperative Program. As a North

Carolina Baptist, I want to thank you for the value you place on engaging in missions in a

cooperative manner, which is reflected in your prayers and financial gifts. I don’t take it for

granted that you have chosen to invest a portion of your missions dollars with the Baptist State

Convention of North Carolina and the Southern Baptist Convention.

Please continue to pray for the ministries of our churches and the work of your Baptist State

Convention of North Carolina. My vision and prayer continues to be that together with your

partnership and support, we will become strongest force in the history of this convention for

reaching people with the message of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In His Service,
