The Cooperative Program (CP) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is the cooperating effort of churches to pool their resources for the work of the gospel among SBC organizations. Currently, CP provides 30 percent of IMB annual support. IMB receives slightly more than half of CP funds from state conventions for the global work of the gospel.
