There are multiple pathways for churches within the United States to cooperate with the SBC. But in some cases, a church outside the United States may formally cooperate with the SBC. If your church is outside the United States, please contact the SBC Executive Committee via email at joinsbc@sbc.net for more information. 

For churches within the United States wishing to cooperate with the SBC, you can:

Cooperate through a state convention

Churches may cooperate with the SBC at a state convention level. First, to begin the process for your church to cooperate through a state or regional convention which serves your area, find your state convention here. The state convention staff team will be happy to assist you in this process.

Add new campuses

An existing SBC church can add individual and separate CAMPUSES by completing the online form found here. Once this process is complete each CAMPUS will receive its own SBC ID number.

Cooperate at the national level

Churches may cooperate with the SBC at a national convention level. To complete the process at the national level, please complete the steps in the form below:
