Many churches receive an offering each spring in connection with the celebration of Easter. This offering is often committed to North American Mission efforts.

First Priority is all about churches. It is about acknowledging that the convention exists to serve churches and church leaders. It is about focusing on the needs of local congregations and seeking to minimize the convention’s bureaucracies and overhead. It is an effort to remember that conventions are merely the way churches cooperate to strengthen their ministries and do together what they would not be able to do alone.
First Priority includes four Great Commission Initiatives—Leadership Development, Congregational Health, Church Planting and Missions Mobilization. These are the areas where the BGCM must take decisive action as we serve churches. Our two Resource Initiatives are Ministry Resources and Congregational Relationships. You can click the links to the left to learn more about these initiatives or click First Priority to learn more. A First Priority brochure and a brief video that provides an overview of the plan are available free of charge from the convention office or click here for a downloadable copy of the brochure.
