CP TOUR: Education for time and eternity

September 29, 2026 - 20:16

The Kentucky Baptist Convention continues its push to show members exactly how their giving fuels ministry work across the state. As part of an ongoing effort to highlight the Cooperative Program, leaders are sharing firsthand accounts of how these funds are being used to spread the gospel and strengthen churches.

The Cooperative Program, often called CP, serves as a unified giving plan that supports missions and ministry at the state, national, and international levels. Every dollar given by local churches goes toward training pastors, sending missionaries, planting new congregations, and providing resources for communities in need.

During recent tours, participants have witnessed how these funds are maximized for kingdom impact. From rural church plants to urban outreach centers, the money is hard at work. Supporters say it is encouraging to see tangible results rather than just hearing statistics.

One focus area is education. Kentucky Baptist institutions rely on CP giving to train the next generation of pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders. This training prepares students not only for current challenges but for eternal work that outlasts any single generation.

Leaders emphasize that every contribution, no matter the size, plays a role in this mission. They encourage churches to stay informed and involved as the tour continues, sharing stories of lives changed and communities reached through collective generosity.
