The Baptist State Convention of Michigan (BSCM) is the statewide organization that unites Southern Baptist churches and associations across Michigan for the purpose of advancing the gospel together. It provides leadership, resources, training, and strategic partnerships to help churches grow in health, size, and spiritual impact.
BSCM is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and supports the Cooperative Program—our denomination’s unified plan for mission funding across North America and the world.
Purpose & Mission:
- Assist local churches with ministry development, evangelism, and discipleship
- Plant new churches throughout Michigan and surrounding areas
- Revitalize existing churches through coaching, consulting, and resources
