Baptisms, Cooperative Program Giving on the Rise in SCBO The results are in...I am thrilled to once again share with you that baptisms are on the rise here in the SCBO. We experienced a 13% increase in 2024 and have seen a 121% increase since 2021...to God be the glory!!
The first step is to send an email to grants@scbo.org and you will receive a link to fill out a form digitally. Once sub - mitted, your request will be reviewed and if it is approved, your church will receive funds within two to three weeks of your initial submission. You may submit one request annually and then must provide a follow-up report on how the Lord blessed your evangelistic efforts. The Lord has placed His hand upon our churches here in Ohio and I hope it remains upon us. If I can ever come to preach or serve your church in any way, please feel free to contact me at jwestbrook@scbo.org. It is an honor and a joy to serve the Lord and you.
I pray that we never get over the Gospel and stay focused on sharing the hope of Christ across the street and around the world. Thank you for your faithful and sacrificial gen - erosity towards the Cooperative Program. As you may already be aware, 2024 was the second high- est year of CP giving in the 71-year history of the SCBO! The good news is that we are off to another strong start so far in 2025. As a former pastor and church planter here in the Buckeye State, I always love hearing and seeing the impact of our missions giving. Evangelism Grants Available Did you know that your Cooperative Program giving helps provide evangelism grants to cooperating SCBO church- es? If your church is faithfully contributing to the Coopera- tive Program and has a vision to share the Gospel in your community, then we would like to bless you with a small financial grant, enabling you to accomplish this vision.
Moving Forward,
Dr. Jeremy Westbrook Executive Director-Treasurer, SCBO
