Tomorrow we will begin back with regular posts and podcasts, this will include either a podcast interview with Acts29 Pastor Aaron Coe or the 2nd part of the interview with Reid and Liederbach.
Our Purpose:
“Baptist 21 seeks to 1) express appreciation for the godly men and women who have ministered before us, 2) engage the world with the gospel in the present, and 3) cast a vision for continued Southern Baptist witness in the 21st century and beyond. We pray this vision will compel Baptists, especially younger Baptists, to cooperate together in the Great Mission our King has given to us.”
Reminder of Who We Are:
Our Purpose and its explanation
What does the future hold for baptist21?
We are going to begin a vision series that will capture our outlook for the 21st century church and SBC. Through this series, we will focus on the motivations that led us to starting baptist21, such as mission, church planting, cooperation, missional networks, the church, and the gospel. In this series, we will write about the distinctives that make us Baptist, the non-negotiables that we must hold to cooperate together, future strategies that will enable the churches of the SBC to be on mission with God, and a look at the benefits of cooperation.
