Identity & Values

Who We Are

The Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (SBTC) is a confessional network of autonomous, like-minded churches that voluntarily cooperate to counter the growing rate of lostness in Texas and around the world.

In 1998, 120 churches founded the SBTC for missional cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and for theological agreement, affirming biblical inerrancy.

Today, over 2,800 churches are moving forward together. Southern Baptist Churches in Texas clearly desire missional cooperation and theological agreement.

Our Core Values

The mission is anchored in our three long-standing core values. (Acts 1:8)

Biblically Based

We affirm biblical inerrancy and the foundational doctrinal beliefs found in the Baptist Faith & Message 2000.

Kingdom Focused

We resource missions and evangelism needs of SBTC churches rather than directing their ministries.

Missionally Driven

We partner with the Southern Baptist Convention through the Cooperative Program to maximize the ministry effectiveness of our churches.
