Cooperative Ministries 2012 Commitment Form

Thank you for choosing to give to Cooperative Ministries in 2012!

Your funds will enable the work of the ministries we’ve already begun in pursuit of our Transformation 2020 vision, as well as the new initiatives that are starting in support of our Transformation 2012 goals.

A contribution of 10 percent of regular offerings to Cooperative Ministries is the starting point toward which all Brethren in Christ congregations are encouraged to aim. As God blesses, it is anticipated that churches will go beyond the 10 percent threshold in their CM contribution.

Please submit this form no later than January 31, 2012.

Questions marked with a * are required.

More information

Designating within Cooperative Ministries does not increase the overall program budget for a particular ministry emphasis beyond the approved percentage of distribution. Designations do, however, buffer a ministry area from the impact of cuts in case of a budget shortfall.
