The Cooperative Program (CP) will be a key focal point in the exhibit hall at the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in New Orleans.
The beauty of the CP lies not in the amount of money each church is able to give, but in the voice it provides every believer in SBC missions and ministry, said Ashley Clayton, associate to the SBC Executive Committee president for the CP and stewardship.
“Every gift is an investment in ministries and missions,” Clayton said. “What we try to communicate in the exhibit hall is that every Southern Baptist has a voice about the Cooperative Program. We’re all vested in missions and ministries.”
The 1,500-square-foot CP booth will be positioned next to the International and North American mission board areas, and will highlight the CP’s integral support of CP entities, state missions, theological education and evangelism.
“These are things that Southern Baptists know and love,” Clayton said, “and they fuel that through the Cooperative Program. We believe it’s in the heart of every Southern Baptist to be generous and to be on
mission.”
The CP booth will feature a platform stage area and two large high-definition video screens displaying live interviews, panel discussions and Twitter feeds.
Attendees are encouraged to visit the booth as early as 9 a.m. Monday, June 18, to hear interviews featuring pastors, church planters, missionaries, professors and key SBC leaders through Wednesday afternoon, June 20.

SBC entities and Woman’s Missionary Union also will have exhibit hall space at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
