Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, Christian denomination and nonprofit organization in Decatur, Georgia, United States
The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is a Christian organization and nonprofit based in Decatur, Georgia that connects moderate Baptist churches. It provides support to members through theological education, mission work, and regional networks.
The organization was founded in 1991 when moderate Baptist churches separated from the Southern Baptist Convention to form their own fellowship. This split allowed them to maintain their theological views and emphasize local church governance.
The Fellowship shapes its members' lives through regular gatherings, Bible study groups, and prayer meetings held locally. These practices create spaces where believers share their faith and support each other in their spiritual journey.
Visitors and members can contact regional offices in their state to learn about local activities and get involved. The website offers extensive resources and current information about upcoming events and programs.
The organization manages endowments and legacy gifts from members to support long-term mission work worldwide. These funding mechanisms allow larger projects to continue even after supporters pass away.
