Last month, each Missouri Baptist church or mission began receiving an important package from the MBC, along with a simple request: Please complete the Annual Church Profile (ACP). What is the ACP? And why is it important? The ACP is a statistical survey that tracks trends in baptisms, church membership, worship attendance, and other local-church activities. Packets were mailed to every church or association in early June. Surveys should be completed as soon as possible, and no later than Jan. 31, 2026.
