Cooperative Program giving in Alabama is 1.1% over the state’s mid-year budget goal, a good sign following a turbulent period in church life due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bobby DuBois, associate executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, said Alabama Baptists have been faithful in giving toward the 2020 CP budget goal of $37.5 million.
“CP giving in Alabama typically hinges on two months of the year — January and December,” DuBois said, noting January 2020 was an “exceptional month” in CP gifts, which allowed the mid-year budget to remain in the black as of June 30.
In March, many churches stopped meeting and/or went online in accordance with state efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19. (TAB)
