This month, campus life and classes are ramping up at Cooperative Program-supported schools, like Hannibal-LaGrange University, Missouri Baptist University, Southwest Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary/Spurgeon College. Across the state, Missouri Baptist churches and associations have in recent years begun—or are expanding—their own educational programs. And many Missouri Baptists are teaching children in public and private schools across the state. It’s clear that Missouri Baptists are heavily invested in education – and this shouldn’t be any surprise.
