Mission Partnerships
Baptist ministry partners in the Heartland
CBF Heartland engages in mission through dynamic partnerships with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel and other excellent ministries. We invite and encourage churches, ministers, and individuals to collaborate with us as we join in God’s mission throughout the world.
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is CBF Heartland’s most important mission partner. We work with CBF to personalize missions for congregations across the region. Whether you’re interested in developing holistic mission strategies in your own community or halfway around the globe, CBF Heartland looks forward to working with you.
