Michigan Southern Baptist Congregations are
uniting to "Light Up the Great Lakes State" by praying for God to sweep across
Michigan with a church planting movement, by simultaneously planting new
churches in each association, and by increasing
awareness of and interest in church planting around our state.
Our Mission
The Cooperative Missions Ministries of the
Baptist State Convention of Michigan exists to assist Michigan Southern Baptist
Congregations and Associations in fulfilling the Great Commission, by providing
training, resources, counsel, and assistance in church planting, African
American and Language Ministries, missions education, and opportunities for
community ministries.

and over 90% of these people do not attend church no matter what their
background. |

Americans live in Detroit making it the largest City with an African American
