Church Matters

Every year CSBC churches should fill out the Annual Church Profile (ACP) which tracks vital statistics for your church, enabling CSBC to evaluate needs, allocate ministry funds, and strategically prepare resources for your unique ministry. Furthermore, the cumulative statistics of the yearly ACPs are celebrated at our Annual Meeting and National Convention. Include your church in this celebration by filling out the ACP by February each year. You will need your SBCworkspace username and password to fill out the ACP. Contact the CSBC if you need help logging in.

CSBC offers resources to assist your church with facility repairs and improvements, ensuring your building maintains its appeal in the community while allowing you to stay focused on spreading the Gospel. Click here to apply for a grant.

We offer bylaws consultation, resources, and reviews for CSBC churches and for those wanting to join our convention. Failure to comply with state and local laws can create legal liability for your ministry, and failing to follow your bylaws can expose leaders of your ministry to personal liability. We recommend updating your bylaws every few years to reflect exactly how your church is organized and governed.

Many pastors struggle alone, which can negatively impact their mental and spiritual health. In contrast, leaders who seek support and accountability can continually expand their vision and cultivate a life-giving culture around them. The CSBC offers this essential support. Our certified coaches are trained to come alongside you to help you achieve greater effectiveness and make significant progress toward growth. You'll experience a rejuvenated professional and personal life.

The NextGen Leaders Network exists to equip California Southern Baptists in their first years of ministry through times of connecting, mentoring, and resourcing. We're working to bridge the gap between older and younger leaders in California. The next generation is critical to the future of church leadership and reaching California for Christ.
