The CP missions funding channel begins with churches sending through the SBTC a portion of its tithes and offerings. Of those receipts, the SBTC retains 45 cents per dollar for church planting and missions causes in Texas while the remaining 55 cents of each dollar through the Southern Baptist Convention to fund more than 5,500 full-time international missionaries, another 5,000 North American missionaries and six seminaries, and a social concerns agency.


The SBC’s LifeWay Christian Resources and GuideStone Financial Services receive no CP funding.
