Developing a Plan to Increase Understanding of the Cooperative Program at Greenhorn Valley Baptist Church in Rye, Colorado

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to increase Cooperative Program understanding among members at Greenhorn Valley Baptist Church in Rye, Colorado. Chapter 1 of this project explains the ministry context and rationale as well as steps to be taken toward accomplishing the project goal.

Chapter 2 provides study of three primary passages from the book of the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 11:19–30; Acts 12:24–13:3; Acts 15:1–35) along with a two-part message from a compilation of selected verses (2 Tim 3:16–17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:44) and supporting verses. These passages expose a foundation of a cooperating spirit in the early church upon which the Cooperative Program is built.

Chapter 3 looks at the history of the SBC and the Cooperative Program and then considers the future of the Cooperative Program.

Chapter 4 explains the implementation of the project and includes the projects sermon series.

Chapter 5 examines the effectiveness of the project and its stated goals.
