SSBC desires to cooperate in the unity of gospel purpose with mission agencies to share responsibilities in order to facilitate and perpetuate the missionary’s work.

 

We recognize that a mission agency is an extra-biblical tool of the church with the expertise to administrate the task of cross cultural training, travel, financing, planning, adaptation, deputation and oversight.

 

We will expect a mission board to be accountable to the local church for any funds that come from the church’s monthly support for administrative fees.  We would desire those fees to be as low as possible, if necessary at all, and will evaluate this funding in the overall consideration for support.

 

A mission agency or sending church should have a doctrinal statement consistent with SSBC.

 

We will expect open communication between the mission board and church, so that no significant information is withheld that would be relevant to spiritual accountability or continued support
