Partnerships
LOCAL
The call to missions begins at home. We are called first to our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, and organizations across Central Ohio.
On a local level, we partner with the State Convention of Baptists in Ohio (SCBO). The SCBO is the missionary organization within Ohio that coordinates the Great Commission cooperative efforts of Southern Baptist to reach Ohio and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Southern Baptists established the State Convention of Baptists in Ohio in 1954. Since then, the number of congregations affiliated with the State Convention has grown to more than 700.

Through your giving and the ministries of Stowe, we hope to see our inner-city neighbors grow into leaders who can then help others grow. Thank you for making a difference.
