The SCBO is the missionary organization within Ohio that coordinates the Great Commission cooperative efforts of Southern Baptists to reach Ohio and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Constitution states, “This Convention is a not-for-profit, charitable, and cooperative body whose purpose shall be to provide a means for these autonomous churches to work together promoting all endeavors they deem necessary to carry out Christ’s Great Commission.” [2] STATE CONVENTION OF BAPTISTS IN OHIO (SCBO) The Southern Baptist Convention is a body of like-minded local churches cooperating to reach the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. There are currently more than fifty thousand Southern Baptist cooperating churches and church-type missions. Though as many as two hundred could be counted as “mega-churches,” the vast majority run less than two hundred in weekly worship. No two churches are alike but certain commonalities bind Southern Baptists together regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, language, size, or location.
