COSBE's Purpose Statement:
1. Promote fellowship among its members.
2. Provide inspiration and information to assist its members to more effectively fulfill the ministry to which they are called.
3. Provide a means of expressing its convictions and positions to the Southern Baptist Convention, and to the world.
4. Provide opportunities for the evangelists to be a source of inspiration to the pastors, ministers, and laymen of the Southern Baptist Convention.
5. Act as a teaching instrument to share with, and to encourage the convention and pastors to recognize the scriptural gift and ministry of the evangelist, according to Eph. 4:11-12, as a partner in fulfilling the Great Commission.
The first constitution for COSBE was adopted in 1959. Subsequent updates and revisions have been approved in 1973, 1982, 2002 and in 2004. |
