The MARBC is mobilized for ministry. Through our national association and other ministry partners, we are ready to help you fulfill your calling to plant a new church. Our process is simple: (1) Assess; (2) Orient; (3) Resource; (3) Coach; and (4) Integrate. Some of the resources that will become available to you through the process include:

• 501(c)(3) IRS tax exempt blanket coverage through our national association.
• Grants and loans through our network partner, the Baptist Builders Club. Upon approval of an application submitted by a church, the BBC–USA Start Up Fund grants up to $55,000, including up to three years of service, support, and financial assistance. Resources such as website design, brochure design and printing costs, and Regular Baptist Press curriculum and teacher/leader training are available.
• Free registration for pastors and their families at the MARBC Annual Conference and the GARBC Annual Conference.
• Free subscription to the Baptist Bulletin for each church-planting pastor.
• Greatly discounted consultation on relevant ministry topics such as strategic planning, outreach strategies, spiritual maturity development, assimilation, church and finance business, and conflict resolution.
• A network of local churches in your region and around the state who are eager to support your church plant with prayer and practical assistance.
