What Baptist Church Planting Ministry does
Mission
To help local Baptist churches start more local Baptist churches.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The ministry assisted with the start and organization of eight local churches in 2025. Travel was exhaustive with over 44,000 miles by care and 77,000 miles by plane. The staff of BCPM also assisted with the growth of several young churches, each between two and five years old. 2025 was a very busy and rewarding year.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $179,957.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $102k to $305k (+200%).
How it's funded, over time

Where its funders are

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
