september Focus: State Mission Offering
September is the month that we collect for the State Missions Offering. Through this offering we directly support churches and pastors in Indiana in certain areas of health, multiplication, and mobilization.
This offering also supports some specific initiatives such as:
1. Disaster Relief will train, credential, and prepare brothers and sisters in Christ to actively respond to the needs of those affected by the natural and man-made crisis. We support their volunteer efforts by providing administrative, organizational, and other resources necessary to make their endeavors successful. Your giving allows DR to meet the needs of hurting humanity — physically, mentally, and spiritually.
2. SCBI Women’s Conference equips women around the state to share their faith. In 2025 there were over 400 women attending.
3. Next Step Certificate Program is a non-degree academic program that equips SCBI pastors, ministry leaders, and lay leaders to live out their calling to serve Jesus Christ and His church. This is offered in partnership with New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and the Caskey Center.
4. Church Staff Ministers’ Counseling partners with Care to Change Christian Counseling Center to provide affordable counseling for staff ministers and their immediate family members of SCBI cooperating churches. You’re supporting ministers by providing counseling at a very minimal out-of-pocket expense.
5. Missions Partnerships: Whether through local opportunities, evangelism trailers, or our partnership wit IMB missionaries in Tokyo, you are providing more opportunities for churches to be on mission!
6. Church Planting: While we value our partnership with the SEND Network Indiana team, we also look at ways to support church planters in creative ways. It might be providing an extra year of residency for a planter to gain experience, or it could be to assist a planter’s family in times of need. Your giving to the SMO boosts our support of new churches and pastors to reach new people for Jesus.
The Mission Team has set a goal of $1,000 for this offering.
