What georgia baptist mission board does

The Georgia Baptist Mission Board is a private nonprofit religious organization headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, that supports pastors, ministry leaders, and churches across the state through resources, training, and mission programming. It operates within the Southern Baptist Convention ecosystem and is primarily funded through the Cooperative Program, which pools contributions from Georgia Baptists to enable statewide missional work.

The organization's flagship offering is Confluence, an annual collegiate conference that gathers college and university students from Georgia Baptist churches and Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCMs) for a weekend of worship, teaching, breakout sessions, and missions mobilization. The 2026 edition is scheduled for October 9-11 at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia. Registration is managed through a third-party platform (brushfire.com), with BCM/church group rates at $45 (early bird) or $55 (regular) per registrant, supplemented by staff-assisted individual registration. The organization also runs the Send Me Now summer missions program, which deploys BCM students into mission service over the summer.

Commercially, the organization is not technology-driven and has no proprietary software products or AI capabilities; its technology footprint is limited to a WordPress-based marketing site and the brushfire.com registration tool. The organization partners strategically with the North American Mission Board (NAMB), International Mission Board (IMB), and seven SBC-affiliated seminaries that participate in a Seminary Row at Confluence to connect students with vocational pathways. Revenue is event-driven through registration fees, with the broader operating base sustained by Cooperative Program giving.
