Denominational Support Statement
I feel that God has greatly blessed Southern Baptists with the most effective network of leadership in the world today. I wholeheartedly support the Missions endeavors of our Convention beginning at the personal level of involvement and throughout the church, association, state, and world. I do not support any form of religious political "in-fighting" in the denomination. I firmly believe that our primary purpose is to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. I believe our SBC Cooperative Program is a tool given to us by God to be used to help us fulfill the Great Commission.
