What is the Indiana State Missions Offering?
Our church is a part of the Southern Baptist Convention, which means we work together, alongside other like-minded churches to bring the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus, to all corners of the world. In order to complete the mission, many churches came together many years ago in order to support missions work. Southern Baptists have started the International Mission Board, the North American Mission Board, and state conventions.
A state convention's goal was to equip churches, plant churches, develop resources, and provide a camp facility, and Indiana is no different. We take part in the annual Indiana State Missions Offering in order to help bring the Gospel to our everyone living in Indiana.

Why should I give to the Indiana State Missions Offering?
THE NEED:
There are still many people in Indiana who have not been told that God’s Kingdom has come! Here are a few statistics:
There are still many people in Indiana who have not been told that God’s Kingdom has come! Here are a few statistics:
- Only one in eight Indiana households attend an evangelical church once a week.
- Two-thirds of Indiana households do not have even one evangelical believer.
- There are more than 4.3 million unreached people in Indiana.
Where do the funds go?
1. Revitalize churches:
Congregations of believers may be stuck in a season of hardship and need a helping hand to regain strength for their mission.
2. Develop leaders:
Churches need leaders who are maturing in their faith and equipped to train more leaders.
3. Evangelize:
We are commissioned to make disciples. Training and strategies are provided to help.
4. Plant churches:
Establishing Bible-believing congregations in un-churched or under-churched communities.
Every penny donated goes directly towards funding ministry opportunities across the state. Joining resources through the State Missions Offering and Prayer is one way we work together.
