Free SCBO Resource Explains SBC Entities, Acronyms

If you ever needed a concise resource to explain the Southern Baptist Convention to those who are new to the SBC, that resource is now available for you.
SCBO has compiled and printed a new booklet, “Understanding the Southern Baptist Convention,” and it’s available NOW at https://scbo.org/whoweare.
Buzz Kocher, SCBO director of strategic initiatives, created the new resource after requests from Ohio pastors.
“The idea of the booklet came from the SCBO Vision Tour in 2024,” Kocher said. Some pastors mentioned it would be helpful if we had a resource that described the SBC in layman’s terms so pastors, new pastors, new church planters, and even church members could get a better understanding of all the different letters and acronyms that we have in the SBC.”
The booklet gives brief explanations of everything from the Executive Committee to the local association with acronyms included.
“I hope the booklet will help educate people about the SCBO/SBC and that this is a tool they could use in their churches when talking about the impact the SBC has locally and globally whether in informational classes or membership classes within their churches,” Kocher said.
“It’s something small and simple to use to help people see the importance of cooperation in Ohio and around the world.”
