BBC–USA Assists Start-up Churches BBC_USA_Logo
Do you have a heart for planting new churches? Baptist Builders Club does! It’s time to plant a new crop of churches in communities across America. Baptist Builders Club–USA Start Up Fund grants churches, mission agencies, and state organizations up to $55,000 in support for church-planting efforts. Apply to BBC–USA for a grant that includes financial assistance, brochure and web designs, training, RBP curriculum, strategic and financial planning, and more!

You can participate in two ways:

  • Refer the pastor of a church plant to the ministry of Baptist Builders Club. It is possible that the church could receive a grant to help with its start-up needs.
  • Donate and be part of the planting movement that is happening across America! Click here to get involved.

Pastoral Cohort Waiting List
The February pastoral cohort is full. A waiting list is forming for the next pastoral cohort. Do you have a ministry idea that you would like to run by colleagues? Do you need advice regarding a particular situation in church life? Do you desire to sharpen your knowledge base on current issues facing the church? GARBC National Representative John Greening invites you to become part of an online cohort where you can form encouraging and edifying relationships with ministry colleagues. E-mail John if you would like to participate in online sessions of interaction and friendship.
