Purpose:

The constitution of the Society states: "The objectives of the Society shall be the dissemination of the gospel in the United States of America, Canada, and other parts of the world, and the promotion of kindred religious and benevolent works."

The purpose of the Seventh Day Baptist Missionary Society is to coordinate and carry out both national and international ministries by carrying the message of salvation through faith in Christ to all who will hear, so they may accept Him as Savior. This purpose will be carried out by:

International Ministries:

·          Initiating, supporting and sustaining international missionary efforts which will result in strong, growing, healthy Seventh Day Baptist churches and conferences.

·          Helping and supporting, to the best of our ability, other countries with the goal of establishing Seventh Day Baptist churches and conferences with strong local and national leadership, thus eliminating the need for a missionary on that field.

·         Providing specialized training to leaders in the form of preparation in establishing and developing churches to form the conference of that country.

·         Assisting existing Seventh Day Baptist conferences and conventions around the world.

·         Using available funds to develop schools, medical ministries and other forms of service in helping meet human needs as a means of achieving our goal.

National Ministries:

·         Teaching and consulting with pastors and churches in the area of church growth.

·          Supporting leadership in extension ministry situations.

·         Initiating and supporting church planting efforts in conjunction with the members of a new work.

·         Aiding Seventh Day Baptist associations and churches in developing strong, growing, healthy organization and ministry so they in turn can sponsor new groups.

General Ministries:

·         Encouraging individual Seventh Day Baptist to become more interested and involved in missionary endeavors.

·         Aiding individuals with justifiable projects in coordinating and fulfilling their ministry as God calls them to work on national or international fields.

·         Receiving and handling bequests given for the missionary work of Seventh Day Baptists.

·         Being fully accountable to Seventh Day Baptists, giving regular and annual reports including audited financial statements.
