The South Carolina Baptist Convention participates in the Cooperative Program (CP). CP is described as a tool used by God to empower the witness of Baptists in South Carolina. Every Southern Baptist Church in the state is challenged to give 10% of all her tithes and offerings to the Cooperative Program. These funds are then pooled with other church gifts from South Carolina. State convention staff collect the funds and distribute some for missions work in South Carolina while the rest is forwarded on to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The SBC then uses gifts collected from all SBC state conventions to fund missions in the United States as well as send missionaries around the world. The Cooperative Program provides the opportunity for even the smallest church to be a part of fulfilling the great commission.
