What are the benefits for affiliating with the SBTC?
Some conventions have built associated schools, benevolence ministries and other institutions. While these ministries can be beneficial to local churches, the SBTC has instead made it first commitment to missions and evangelism. Other ministries are also important. The SBC and local churches have personnel that can provide expertise in a wide variety of ministries. SBTC can have a smaller staff since many ministries can be done using experts in SBTC churches and partner entities. Conventions provide for ministry needs using the financial resources given by the churches. Churches pool their resources and decide what types of convention services will provide.
