Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

CBF of Missouri works in close partnership and collaboration with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and CBF's Resource Center in Atlanta, GA. CBF resources congregational leaders and members for the journey toward Christlikeness.

We are proud to work with CBF field personnel who are engaging in holistic missions and ministries in a world without borders. Working together, we can identify and respond to the critical needs of congregations through partnership missions with local churches and ministry among the most neglected peoples.
