SBC Executive Committee Endorses Vision 2025
The Executive Committee voted unanimously to endorse Vision 2025, which is comprised of five seminal goals to channel our cooperative energy over the next five years. Vision 2025 has emerged from Dr. Ronnie Floyd's leadership (as the new President of the Executive Committee) and is built around focusing energy on growth in five key areas.Vision 2025 calls on Southern Baptists to increase the number of full-time IMB missionaries by 500 (to 4,200 total), add 6,000 new churches in the United States (surpassing 50,000 total), strongly emphasize "calling out the called" to ministry leadership, reverse the decline in baptisms among 12-17 year olds, and increase total Cooperative Program giving to $500 million.
