The Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (SBTC) is a cooperative network of Southern Baptist churches in Texas, focused on advancing the gospel and supporting church growth. They generate revenue primarily through contributions from member churches, which are used to fund missions, church planting, and educational initiatives. Established in 1998, the SBTC was formed as a conservative alternative to the Baptist General Convention of Texas, emphasizing adherence to the Southern Baptist Convention's doctrinal statement, the Baptist Faith and Message. The organization plays a significant role in providing resources, training, and support to its affiliated churches.
