Missions involvement is one important defining trait of Southern Baptists. In North America and around the world, more than 10,000 missionaries are supported by Southern Baptists, including those in Colorado. In addition to financial and prayer support, Colorado's Southern Baptists are personally involved in hands-on missions.
Search this section to discover how you and your church can become personally involved in hands-on missions through our partnerships.
How to Get Involved Details on the many ways you can become involved in hands-on missions.
Belarus Opportunties Internationally, Colorado's Baptists are partnered with Baptists in Belarus. Each year, the partnership offers opportunities for Coloradoans to travel to Belarus for ministry or to simply link with a Belarussian church in a shared prayer ministry.
Missouri Opportunities Within the U.S., Colorado's Baptists have partnered with Baptists in Missouri to provide shared opportunities for ministry.
Canadian Opportunities The partnership with Canada is in its infancy, and a great opportunity for a church to help expand God's Kingdom.
That is the cry that could be heard every afternoon June 10 through the 13 as Soccer Camp took place at Red-tailed Hawk Park in Aurora. The Edge Church, a church plant lead by Pastor Ryan Heller, hosted this as an opportunity to engage the young families in their area of outreach. Over 50 children ranging from kindergarteners up to fifth graders played their hearts out and improved their soccer skills throughout the course of the three-day camp.
Colorado Springs, Colo.- An island of misfit toys. The famous group of toys that are broken down and unwanted from the Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer serves as the picture of the make-up of Breathe Worship Center in Colorado Springs. Pastor of this two and a half year young church plant, Drew Van Gorder, says that their growing group of seekers and new believers are often the outsiders that many tend to overlook.
God planted the seeds in Van Gorder’s heart that lead to the humble beginning of this church plant when he was working on the ALERT team at the Limon Correctional facility. During the four years as an employee there, he felt compelled by God to do something else. At first he thought he would be a state patrolmen but that fell through. Then one day, Van Gorder was dealing with God about what to do next as he was driving home after work when he heard a small whisper of “Pastor”- a still small whisper that Van Gorder compares to the story in Elijah. God was not in the waves or the wind or the fire, but He made himself heard in the soothing sound of a soft whisper.

First mission trip. First time to Colorado. First construction project. There were a lot of ‘firsts’ accomplished by the time twelve members from Harmony Baptist Church returned to Atoka, Oklahoma on March 24th.
Pastor Jay Willoughby and his team spent four days taking down the 40-year-old windows in Ponderosa’s Cagle Lodge and installing brand new ones. The four evenings were dedicated to fellowship and unity building devotionals.

Crowley- God answers prayer.
After a team of volunteers prayerwalked and handed out 500 “Find It Here” response cards in Crowley, one woman responded to the gospel. Her card was received by the Colorado Baptist General Convention and indicated a need to make her faith public and a desire for more information about how the grow as a believer in Jesus Christ.

One of Colorado Baptist’ core values is “Cooperation: God’s kingdom plan is that His people work together.” That core value lies at the root of what it means to be Southern Baptist.
As I meet with various groups and churches I often say that I’m passionately Southern Baptist for two reasons. The first is that we are a people of the Book. I believe in the inerrancy of the Scripture and we are guided by every word that is contained in the canon- we believe it is the very word of God.
Busy pastors and churches rely on volunteer help. If we are going to impact our communities we need to find, train and utilize more and more volunteers. Collegiate VOLUNTEER MINISTRIES has several avenues of recruiting volunteers for use in your church ministries:
