Southern Baptist Mission Information

The State Mission Offering is named after Nicy Murphy, a pioneer servant among Southern Baptists in this region. Nicy served as the first director of the Woman's Missionary Union (WMU) when it was organized in 1956. She raised the banner of missions education and support.  The Nicy Murphy Offering, held state-wide every September, provides finances for starting new churches and supports Colorado Baptist missionaries.

Southern Baptists have a long-standing commitment to International Missions. One of the primary ways that Southern Baptist support International Missions is through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Lottie Moon was a wonderful Christian servant. For forty years (1873-1912) she served as a Southern Baptist Missionary to China. Her commitment to international missions, her love for Christ, and her passion to serve stand as an abiding testimony to all who commit to service in God's work.

Southern Baptists have long supported Home Missions as well. One of the primary ways is through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Annie Armstrong provided the inspiration and drive for Southern Baptists to commit to a ministry of missions at home in America. Her work with minorities and Indians establishes an example for each of us to minister at home with those in need.
